Here’s what Motorola did with Android. MOTOBLUR integrates all of your contacts in one place: phone numbers, email addresses, MySpace, Twitter, and Facebook.
Motorola built a “Happenings” widget that ties together friends’ tweets, status updates, photos, and more, all surfaced on the home screen without opening an app. It even pulls in the latest song your friends listened to via Last.fm. As Motorola described it, MOTOBLUR was about getting the message regardless of where it came from.
Updating your own status is equally straightforward: type it out and choose which social networks receive it. You can target any one or all three simultaneously. Photos can be uploaded to those same services as well as Picasa and Photobucket.
Incoming calls display the caller’s name, latest profile photo, and current status.
MOTOBLUR continuously syncs and backs up your information to the cloud, keeping everything consistent across devices. Motorola CEO Sanjay Jha indicated plans to expand MOTOBLUR across multiple devices over the coming months, with expectations set in the tens of new handsets running it.
