THE MOTOBLUR:SOCIAL NETWORKING ON THE FRONT.

THE MOTOROLA CLIQ, on display for the first time at the international CTIA, has hardware features

such as a touch screen atop a slide-out QWERTY keyboard designed to lure buyers, but its new MOTOBLUR

software could be its most important novelty.

With motoblur, which uses the Android operating system and interface, the users will be able to combine up

to 10 social networking sites and other applications, such as work e-mail and photo tools.

Several CTIA visitors at motoblur's booth had trouble understanding Motoblur, or it's value, posing a potential

challenge for T-mobile USA which begins selling the cliq for $200.

In addition to combining applications on a single home screen , users of Motoblur will be able to keep upto

five separate home screens a single swipe away from each other.

Users whose lives involve various jobs or roles, or who are active in social networks, might find

Motoblur's organisation scheme valuable.

what is evident with the cliq and some other smart-phones is that their designs are moving into

a second or third stage of evolution where software services such as Motoblur, rather than hardware features

offer buyers new choices. That's a shift from two years ago when the iphone caught the world by

storm with a radical new touch-screen design and ralated interface.

In fact, Motoblur software takes motorola and the cliq into an area of services that, until now, seemed

to have been the domain of software companies like yahoo inc., which has been combining social networking buttons,

with e-mail on a single screen on cell phones for a while. Yahoo focusses its application and services development around

social networking sites and e-mail because they are the applications people always search for.
