Colin Edwards On CRT Teams: "There'll Be Tracks Where CRT Teams Will Surprise Some People"

Colin Edwards' future in MotoGP has been uncertain for some time now, and rumors about what comes next have been circulating continuously. As late as Mugello, there appeared to be a good chance that Edwards could remain with Tech 3, Yamaha boss Lin Jarvis hinting to MotoMatters.com that Edwards' long experience in MotoGP and his unquestionable development skills could play a key role in helping to develop Yamaha's 2012 MotoGP bike, especially important as MotoGP reverts to a 1000cc formula.

Since then, Edwards' star has waned with Yamaha, and the Texan has been linked with rides in World Superbikes and elsewhere. The latest rumor - first published by Britain's MCN, and today confirmed by GPOne.com - is that Edwards could end up on a CRT bike. The Texan has been linked with the Forward Racing team, currently racing with Jules Cluzel and Raffaele de Rosa (who replaced Alex Baldolini) in Moto2. The Forward team is one of the teams whose entry as a CRT has been accepted by IRTA, and is expected to field a BMW-powered Suter in 2012. At a pre-event conference call ahead of this weekend's Red Bull Indianapolis GP, Edwards refused to talk about his future, saying he expected to make an announcement at Misano.

HTC Vigor Spotted In The Wild, Possibly Packing Verizon LTE

htc-vigor21As far as Verizon devices are concerned, the Droid Bionic probably holds the crown for "Most Anticipated Handset," but newly leaked shots of the HTC Vigor may steal a bit of that spotlight. Rumored to be the newest addition to Verizon's LTE line up, the Vigor sports a name that's downright ancient in comparison: it was first spotted in a trademark application from 2009. The Vigor made waves earlier this month when an ersatz version was spotted on a Dutch retailer's website, but the real deal sports a less angular body that matches up nicely with HTC and Verizon's design language. Specifically, with its funky textured back plate and red camera trim, the Vigor could easily pass for another entry in Verizon's Incredible series.

Google remains committed to TV business, expects more partners soon

Wondering what Mountain View has in store for Google TV -- that half-baked content platform available on only a small handful of devices? Well, it's not going away, apparently, and may even cross the Atlantic into Europe next year. Google Chairman Eric Schmidt is currently making waves in Scotland, giving Edinburgh International Television Festival attendees a rather vague overview of what the next generation of Google TV may look like. Schmidt said that the service has yet to take off because it's currently integrated with (a rather limited selection of) TVs, which we don't tend to upgrade more than once or twice a decade. He added that additional hardware and content partners will be coming soon, though, and didn't deny that Google TV could end up on Motorola cable boxes -- an obvious move, given the company's recent acquisition announcement. With widespread implementation and many more content partners, Google TV could definitely be a hit, but with ABC, NBC and CBS still unwilling to come onboard, the struggling service likely has a very rocky road ahead before it can be deemed a success.
