Meet CLIQ, the Google Android Phone That Will Save MotorolaAt first blush of the specs and pics, the CLIQ is hardly monumental or groundbreaking. It seems to hew fairly closely to the T-Mobile Android myTouch 3G and the Sprint HTC Hero in that it's a social network-oriented smartphone. People will buy it, but not enough to make a huge impact for Motorola, which has seen phone sales languishing in parallel with the rise of Apple's iPhone. September 3, 2009

Apple iPhone Model Is Different from, Not Better than, Google Android's Go-to-Market PlanIf we go by the market numbers, we might reasonably conclude most people believe the iPhone is better. But that isn't what this argument is about; it's about pointing out that Android will find more success if phone makers do a better job than they've been doing to this point. There are only a few Android phones in the market; there is a lot of room to improve ... |
