For years now, hotel chains have been toying with alternative ways to letting patrons check-in, access their room and run up their bill with all-too-convenient in-room services. Marriott began testing smartphone check-ins way back in 2006, and select boutique locations (like The Plaza Hotel in New York and Boston’s Nine Zero) have relied on RFID, iris scanners, biometric identifiers and all sorts of whiz-bang entry methods in order to make getting past a lock that much easier (or harder, depending on perspective). This month, InterContinental Hotels Group announced that they would soon be trialing OpenWays at Chicago’s Holiday Inn Express Houston Downtown Convention Center, enabling iPhone owners to fire up an app and watch their room door open in a magical sort of way. Other smartphone platforms will also be supported, and as we’ve seen with other implementations, users of the technology will also be able to turn to their phone to order additional services, extend their stay or fess up to that window they broke. There’s no word on when this stuff will depart the testing phase and go mainstream, but we’re guessing it’ll be sooner rather than later. Video after the break, if you’re interested.

Rumors have run rampant that the head of Motorola’s soon-to-be-independent Mobile Devices division, Sanjay Jha , has plans to high-tail back to the Californian home from whence he came (where his family still resides, coincidentally) once the split wraps up. That may still be the case, but it looks like it’s not necessarily happening any time soon coming off comments this week from the dude himself. In comments to shareholders on Monday, Jha said that “the mobile devices headquarters is in [Chicago suburb] Libertyville, and that will continue at the point of the split,” qualifying the statement by saying that he’d “evaluate [their] needs” afterward but that doesn’t “know” that relocating the business “is a driving priority right now.” Moving the business clearly has personal benefits for Jha — not to mention likely brings a refreshed Motorola access to a greater pool of high-tech talent in the Valley — but regardless of what happens, he says that he doesn’t think the company will “dramatically change [its] space in Chicago.” Might not be a bad idea to fly all the engineers away from those nasty Chicago winters for a couple months, anyway, right?

So we’re in the middle of testing our Sony Ericsson X10 here — stay tuned for that review, by the way — and in the course of flipping through the settings, we noticed something strange: it’s reporting two 3G MicroCells nearby. Now, to the best of our knowledge, you can’t buy a MicroCell in these parts — sales are still strictly limited to a small handful of test markets — but it makes you wonder. For what it’s worth, SE shipped the phone with a GoPhone SIM, but we’re not sure whether that makes a difference. We’re looking into the situation and we’ll report more as soon as we have it.
