Google \/ Motorola Moto X Debut with Guy Kawasaki & Rick Osterloh . . .<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
Last month, I had the hardest challenge ever as a blogger – to keep silent. Yes, I was under embargo and was not able to tell you about the AMAZING event I attended at the Google headquarters . . . until now. It was a very special gathering, one that wasn’t even supposed to exist. Our host for the evening? Guy Kawasaki, the second tech evangelist ever and the current Motorola cheerleader.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I was already giddy at the invitation to visit Google. So, of course, some obligatory photo ops were needed. The good stuff is coming so keep reading!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Upon entering the building, we were directed toward well-lit staircase with the attendees names on them. Seriously?! Yes, each stair had a moving marquee with a different guest’s name. Had our evening stopped there, I would be totally content. That wasn’t even the icing on the cake though.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
After the 20-30 guests arrived, Guy Kawasaki opened the hush-hush presentation. He shared his love of smartphones, tech, and competition. No wonder his move to Motorola, now owned by Google, was a perfect fit. Guy was totally down-to-earth and quite fun to listen to. His silk Hawaiian shirt helped mellow out the occasion as well.<\/p>\n
On a small table to his right, sat an (antique) Apple One. Guy explained that this new product would do for the mobile world what the Apple One did for the computer world.<\/p>\n
