A look at the new Motorola Cliq.
Motorola’s Cliq has a number of innovative and cool features, but ultimately lacks the chemistry to capture any significant portion of the smartphone market or return lost industry relevance to Motorola. Motorola has had a rough year with sluggish sales and plummeting revenue. The announcement of the Google Android-based Cliq, and Motorola’s MotoBlur interface have generated some buzz, but the Cliq appeals to the wrong market. To be fair, I think the contact integration feature is awesome. The ability to click on social networks to include for a contact and let the Cliq automatically track and update that information even as your contacts make changes to their social networking accounts is an innovation that will likely be adopted by other vendors. – From PC World
