Golf enthusiasts who are looking to bring their game to the next level might be interested in taking a look at the Motorola MOTOACTV Golf Edition, a joint effort between Motorola and three-time PGA Tour winner, Bubba Watson, with the device being touted as a “cutting-edge GPS tracker, virtual caddy and online clubhouse”. So, what is so different about the Golf Edition compared to the standard MOTOACTV?
Well for starters the Golf Edition features 20,000 golf courses available in its database, and will allow players to check the distance to the front, center and back of greens, as well as the distance to hazards which can sometimes be read in negative numbers. It will also help track your score, with the “online clubhouse” feature allowing the wearer to sync the data to Motorola’s MOTOACTV service, thus giving them a satellite view of the course played and where your shots went.
Interested golfers who wish to gain an edge over the competition will be pleased to learn that they will be able to pre-order the MOTOACTV Golf Edition from Amazon for $299.99, with the device expected to start shipping on the 1st of April.
So we know that Verizon is prepping a limited edition Motorola Droid RAZR MAXX for their employees, but it looks like a special edition of the Droid RAZR MAXX will also be given away to some Oscar Award attendees and some of the presenters, and will be given in the gift basket as pictured above.
The special edition handset will come with a gold sequined pouch, a Motorola ELITE SILVER Bluetooth headset and it appears to have been given a fresh coat of paint in the color red. Now the good news is that unlike the Verizon special edition Droid RAZR MAXX, the red carpet special edition will be available for regular folks like you and I. It seems that all you’d have to do is simply retweet #RedCarpetRAZR and you could be one of the lucky five winners to walk away with the special edition handset.
The contest will be running until this Sunday which is when the Oscars will be airing, but for more information on the contest rules, pop on over here for the details. Anyone planning to win one of these for themselves?
