New pictures of Motorola Sholes tablet reveal 5MP camera, FM radio

For the second straight day, we have some leaked pictures of the Motorola Sholes tablet to show you, and with the new images we are able to pick up some new info. For example, we can clearly see the the camera is a 5MP unit, just like what is on the DROID, and is not 8MP as reported earlier. We can also clearly see that the Sholes tablet sports an FM radio. We are still waiting for Motorola to officially introduce this to the public so we can get a more in-depth look at the specs. But from what we've seen so far, if you love the DROID, you should have similar feelings for the tablet. By the way, you'll notice that the tablet (or the XT701 as it will apparently be called for China Unicom) does not have the physical QWERTY keyboard that is part of the DROID, but does have a small bulge on the lower right side of the unit that could have been designed to make the tablet easier to grip, or to house some extra components.

The Xperia is not a "massive" phone ... which by comparision shows the Sholes isn't either. But some of the angles in the picture makes it look like an unwieldy giant, awkward pics of the Sholes indeed.

I'd hang out w/ this, and I think that bulge on the side is just a designed illusion- right where the bulge curves back into the body, the side slants outward..

This looks a little thicker than I thought it would be given the absence of a physical keyboard.

thats what i was thinking but i guess it gives room for a better battery, processor, memory etc (but i wouldnt be surprised if it didnt measure up spec wise to the droid since the droid to motorola is just "sooo speciallllll")... but if you think about it, if you take the keyboard off the droid and just the keyboard not the entire keyboard base (its flat so you wont be taking off much) and keep it in standard candy-bar form, you'll definitely be left with a little thickness that will probably measure up to the length of the sholes.

This is not SHOLES TABLET, this is just a phone which is going to CHINA, there is another TABLET and is more pretty. The real SHOLES TABLET 8mp camera is going to T-MO, and has a HDMI port
