Live From the Motorola Razr Unveiling [LIVE BLOG]

For now, all of this is conjecture. Motorola's invite promises only "Faster. Thinner. Smarter. Stronger." The invites also says "the next big innovation" and not "innovations," which could point to a single product. In that case, the Razr is almost a sure thing. If that name sounds familiar, that's because it is. The Motorola Razr was one of the most popular cellphones on the market almost a decade ago. It was also not a smartphone and as data-centric cellphones arrived, the thin, flip phone fell out of favor. According to leaked photos, this new Razr will not fold, but will be super slim for a large-screen superphone.

While the Xoom II tablet launch now seems somewhat less likely, the Motorola's tablet could use a boost. So far, the company has shipped less than a million units (no word on numbers sold) and it recently introduced a low-end, Wi-Fi-only, 16 GB model for just $379. That sounds attractive, but the Xoom is still struggling in the market against the Apple iPad, which has sold at least 25 million units, and both tablets face a new and formidable opponent in Amazon's $199 Kindle Fire, which arrives in November.

UPDATE: Motorola Unveils Droid Razr, World’s Thinnest Smartphone

Verizon's presence -- not unusual for a Droid launch -- also likely means that every gadget on display today will be running on the company's super-fast LTE network.

Whatever Motorola and Verizon introduce today, Mashable will be on the scene, live blogging and grabbing photos so you don't miss a thing. We'll also do our best to get up-close-and-personal with all the products the two companies unveil today.

Our live blog will kick off at approximately 11:45 AM ET.
