At the Mobilize conference on Thursday in San Francisco, Motorola CEO Dr. Sanjay Jha unveiled an Android smartphone called CLIQ (all caps in the tradition of the RAZR and ROKR) that will be available soon from T-Mobile. The device features a new service called Blur that Motorola developed to bring deep social networking integration and Web synchronization support to Android handsets.
During his keynote presentation at Mobilize, Jha introduced the capabilities of Blur and described how it will define Motorola’s Android strategy. Jha asserts that networked communication is evolving away from the traditional one-to-one model embodied by e-mail and SMS and is shifting towards a more social and collaborative one-to-many model as users increasingly adopt services like Facebook and Twitter.
