We are having difficulty in nailing down the actual time, but we know that Motorola's big press event will happen today in Chicago. We fully expect to see the Moto 360 smartwatch, the Moto X+1 and the next generation Moto G revealed, but we could be surprised with more.

Several other manufacturers announced products in the wee hours of the morning, so we will share some of those announcements while we wait for Motorola's event. If we can finally find the actual time for this event, we will update you here.

[Update: The event will happen at 130PM CT today.]

Here's the quote from Derek Ross on Google+

Hi everyone. There is a media event happening in Chicago - there isn't a live stream but we will be releasing all details first thing tomorrow as well as having a hangout on air at 1:30 PM CT.

Turns out that the public announcement isn't until TOMORROW at 1:30CST. Sucks.

From what I've read the announcement IS today at 1:30CT. But the press has to wait until tomorrow to say anything. So first thing tomorrow.
Totally lame Moto...

Yeppers... it looks like they are having a closed press event today, and will have the livestream tomorrow at 130PM CT. Marketing FAIL!

I feel like it's all been marketing genius. This seems to be much more highly anticipated than the recent Samsung and Sony events...and that might be partly due not only to keeping a tighter lid on leaks but a wide range of disparity (intentional subterfuge?) between the few leaks there have been.

What remains to be seen is rewarding the excitement with devices worthy of getting excited for.
