Yesterday, CES 2011 officially began. Never mind that I had been attending press events for two days leading up to it. Thursday was when the show floors opened for the first time to all attendees. I’ve seen various estimations of how big CES is this year. A conservative guess was that the exhibits encompassed more than 1.5 million square feet. And it feels like at least three people are in every square foot — it’s packed!
This is funny… …but it leaves you wanting to know what Motorola will be announcing, and CES is about 2 weeks away. What can we expect? This post contains a video that is revealing: And this page offers some predicted specs: Here is what we know about it so far (according to rumor). It will [...]

Come join us at 1:00 p.m. Eastern today to see if Chris and I have recovered from the psychological damage we endured while covering the Apple iPad announcement last week. Today we’ll be talking about some mysterious botnet activity, rumored products from Microsoft and an obligatory segment on the aforementioned iPad. Plus you don’t want to miss our special effects extravaganza known as the Tweet of the Week!

You may have heard a couple of weeks ago that Verizon, the No. 1 cell phone carrier in the United States, will soon carry smartphones running Google’s Android operating system. At the time of the announcement, neither Verizon nor Google revealed any details about upcoming handsets running the OS. As we shift toward the holiday season, information is beginning to appear. One of the new handsets is called the Droid.
The Droid (a phone from Motorola formerly known as Sholes) features a physical QWERTY keyboard and will run on Android 2.0. It also has a five megapixel camera with a built-in flash, among other interesting specs. But to me, the most interesting thing about the Droid is how Verizon is advertising it.
Recently, Verizon launched an advertising campaign that hypes the Droid by tearing down the iPhone. Click through to see what Verizon has up its corporate sleeve.
It must be a week for new tech announcements. CNET’s Tom Krazit’s been liveblogging Motorola co-CEO Sanjay Jha’s press conference at Mobilize ’09 today, and reports that the company’s coming out with some new handsets that might be very interesting if you’re a fan of the company’s products, and especially if you like social networking services.
The new CLIQ is a slider phone with a full QWERTY keyboard. It runs on Google’s Android operating system, which gives it access to lots of applications through the Android Market. It’ll have a 5-megapixel camera, Wi-Fi and it can record video. In addition, when it becomes available in the fourth quarter of this year, the CLIQ will be the first Motorola phone to offer the MOTOBLUR social networking software.
Motorola’s press release said that MOTOBLUR has widgets that help you manage your social networking accounts while on the go. It’ll support Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, multiple e-mail accounts and Last.fm Internet radio accounts.
It hasn’t been a year since Google and HTC unveiled the G1, the first smartphone to use the Android operating system. But back in late 2008, many of us thought that the Android OS would sweep through the smartphone market. We imagined dozens of phones spread across all the major carriers. But that hasn’t happened yet.
