MOTOBLUR, An Android With Social Skills!

MOTOBLUR, An Android With Social Skills!
MOTOBLUR is a custom OS built on Goggle's Android platform (Motorola Androids)and provides capabilities to automatically syncs conversations, contacts and content and much more from popular social networking sites. A widget called “Happenings" provides live information from popular social networking sites like facebook, Twitter, myspace and many more.

“With MOTOBLUR we are differentiating the Android experience for consumers by delivering a unique mobile device experience designed around the way people interact today,” said Jha. “MOTOBLUR, which will be available on our first Android-powered device and on multiple Android devices in our upcoming portfolio, helps us to create phones that are instinctive, social and smart.”

As far as the social skills go;
  • Happenings: View all your social site updates in one spot with the live Happenings application. Every friend feed, status update, wall post, bulletin and photo upload is automatically delivered and ready for immediate reply, any way you like.
  • Messages:  Quickly scroll through the Messages application for a snapshot of current work or personal e-mails, social site messages, and texts, with the ability to respond to any message however you want no matter how it was sent: text, email, IM and more. 
  • Social Status: Blast your status right from the home screen and even save time by updating your status to one or all your social networks at once.
  • News Feeds: Keep track of your favorite news feeds, sports scores or even celebrity gossip without leaving the home screen.
  • Calendar: Integrate your work calendar with Google Calendar™ into one Calendar widget that shows the next appointment right from the home screen.
  • Never be out of contact with a full HTML browser, 3G speed and Wi-Fi.
  • Snap photos with the 5 megapixel camera with autofocus; upload photos simply to your favorite photo sharing or social sites.
  • Play back your favorite YouTube™ videos or capture them and easily upload them for your friends to view.
  • Use the 3.5 mm headset jack to plug in your own headphones and easily connect to your music, create your own playlist or discover new music by seeing what your friends are listening to on LastFM.
