An Overview of the Motorola Cliq

It will run Google's Android OS, and come with a suite of entertainment and productivity software.

This smartphone is going to be the first with Blur, Motorola's new Android app that will let users work with a variety of social networking and email services from the homescreen. It will also offer access to a growing collection of third-party software through the Android Market.
