According a press release Motoblur is the first and only solution to synch contacts, posts, feeds, messages, e-mails, photos and more—from sources such as Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, Gmail, Yahoo, your work e-mail and LastFM – and automatically deliver it all to the home screen. Sanjay Jha, co-CEO of Motorola and CEO of Motorola Mobile Devices, announced the news today at the GigaOM Mobilize conference in San Francisco.
Also announced today was the Motorola Dext with Motoblur, the first device in the company’s Android-powered product portfolio. Motorola Dext is the only mobile phone to automatically organise and deliver messages, contacts and favourite content – regardless of source – directly to the device home screen in easy to manage streams.
“Motoblur, which will be available on multiple Motorola Android-powered devices in our upcoming portfolio, helps us to create phones that are instinctive, social and connected,” said Ralf Gerbershagen, vice president and general manager of Motorola Western Europe.
“Today’s mobile phone needs to be more than just ‘smart’. It needs to be social. The Dext is such a phone, offering the ability to funnel your entire social life into a single stream.”
Motoblur leverages Motorola’s experience in mobile Linux and open platforms and benefits from the global Motodev program that supports developers creating a new generation of rich user experiences for Motorola handsets featuring the Android operating system.
Dext will be available exclusively launching with Orange in the United Kingdom and France, Telefonica in Spain and America Movil in Latin America. Known as CLIQ in North America, the device will be available exclusively with T-Mobile USA.
