On Thursday morning, Motorola officially launched the first Google Android device: Motorola Cliq. The announcement was made on the cooperation of Motorola’s director Sanjay Jha to mobilize 09-conference in San Francisco, which was later joined by Cole Brodman, T-Mobile chief technology and information officer, to demonstrate Cliq.

Long-rumored as Morrison, Motorola Cliq will be available from T-Mobile later this fall, just for the holidays, but the price was not revealed during its implementation. T-Mobile will offer the phone in two colors: titanium white or winter, and it will be sold worldwide in 2010, as Motorola DeXT. Unfortunately, Motorola does not publicize Sholes but to say that he will announce a second Android phone in the coming weeks.

Cliq least 4.49 inches high by 2.28 inches wide by 0.62 inches and weighs 5.6 ounces. It is equipped with 3.1-inch HVGA touchscreen with a resolution of 320×480 pixels and a sliding QWERTY keyboard, and soft keyboard. It is also equipped with a 3.5 millimeter headphone jack.

Phone will work Android 1,5 Cake and offers access to Google’s various services, including Google Maps with Street View Google Voice Search, Picasa, and Gtalk. The smartphone supports multiple mail clients such as Yahoo, Windows Live, and other POP3 and IMAP services, as well as synchronization with Microsoft Exchange, including a calendar. QuickOffice Suite is also on board to view the document.

Quad-band Cliq is a 3G-compatible and offers a full HTML-browser, Google, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS. Multimedia features come in the form of 5-megapixel camera with video recording and built-in music and video player. The smartphone also comes preloaded with Amazon MP3 Store, on the App YouTube, Shazam, Last.fm, and Imeem. Rated talk time is 6 hours and up to 13.5 days of standby time.

Obviously, this is a very full-featured phone, but this is no different from many of today’s smartphones, so Motorola expects its Motoblur user interface will help distinguish it from the rest of the package. As mentioned in the main Today Motoblur synchronizes information from various sources, such as Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, and your personal and work e-mail accounts, as well as an automatic update streams on your screen. His idea is that this constant flow of information, you will have to spend less time opening and closing applications.

Motoblur, of course, in Nice, that it brings together all of your information, as well as palm Synergy function, but it will be interesting to look at the real user experience. Will it really useful to have all this data on your home screen, or he simply confused the mess? In addition, although the specifications are good enough, they do not quite mind-blowing either.

We’ll get some practical time with Cliq later in the afternoon, so we can tell you more. We also have photos and video. At the same time, please call and tell us what you think about the device.

Last.fm is a part of CBS Interactive, which publishes CNET News and CNET Reviews.

Known for its desktop search application, Copernic is a new service for remote crowd.

MyCopernic on the Go allows you to remotely search and access files on your home or office computer.

By subscribing to $ 9.95 per year service, you can find and view files on your PC from any remote devices - PCs, laptops, smart phones including the iPhone from Apple, Pre Palm, or BlackBerrys.

Service requires that either the Windows Desktop Search, or their own search for Copernic Desktop’s App be installed on the source computer. (Copernic offers three options for searching App - Free Edition home with basic features, $ 50 Pro version, and $ 60 Corporate Edition.)

To start, you set up a subscription to Copernic. Install and load MyCopernic connector on the original computer. From there, you open MyCopernic on website on the remote control device and log in to your account. And then your source computer is ready to search.

MyCopernic the road boasts that he can find almost any type of files - documents, images, e-mail attachment, contact or calendar item. You can search for files by name or category, and even run an advanced search to include parameters such as date and file size.

Preview function allows you to view files without downloading them. Dennis Dion, Copernic vice president of sales and marketing, described the email as a preview, allowing customers to browse mobile version of the document even without downloading the file. So you can get the necessary information (to view the photos, for example) without having to install any device. ”

But if you want to download and open the file that the application file must be installed on the remote device. For example, you need a music player to download and play MP3-file. 

one potential drawback: the service is connected directly to a computer to find files. This means that the source computer must be turned on and connected to the network when you run a search. Dion shows up it. “You literally search your computer in real time,” he said. “This means no data is copied to the server MyCopernic, which is more user-friendly privacy, and there is no need to spend time choosing the content to be synchronized and synchronization in advance.

Copernic has created a security measure for its new service: Your computer is secure Log-In, as well as the connections themselves are encrypted.

MyCopernic the way can be found on the website of Copernic and some mobile manufacturers such as BlackBerry App world.

How it works

I took MyCopernic Go back to the test to see how this lucky.

After installing and loading MyCopernic connector on my desktop at home, I opened the site MyCopernic on my IPod Touch and began to look for files.

I tried MyCopernic on the move with Windows Desktop Search. Before I could use the service, I had to make sure that Windows Search is indexing the files that I wanted to find.

In my Ipod Touch, I could find all the files, or narrow it down to such categories as e-mail, music or pictures. Each category offered me advanced search options. For email, I could connect to the topic and the names of the sender and recipient. For music, I can enter the song title, artist and album name.

MyCopernic the way, also searched the contents of my files. I was looking for a few lines of text that are not part of any file, but were in some of the content files and service and found them all.

Preview mode worked surprisingly well. I can view the contents of documents Word, Excel spreadsheets and PDF files. Unformatted They were, of course, but the data is read. I could view files, JPG, GIF and other images. I could even grab URL-addresses in Internet Explorer Favorites, and other web pages. Preview will not play music or video, though, for what you need to download the files to a remote device.

MyCopernic in the way we found all the files I threw at him, so that the service is performed well. The main drawback for me: I do not usually leave my desk is included when I leave the house, so that the service does not help me in this event.

And, of course, there are other applications I use to connect to the computer remotely. But I liked how I could easily and quickly find files on the desktop of my house of not more than IPod Touch.

The long-awaited Google Android device flow is going to hit the market, which should help to bring more cool applications on the new Android phones.

Motorola will be the next big producer to announce its Android Phone. The company plans to officially unveil it at the event Thursday in San Francisco. Motorola has already appeal to developers, to get them on board to create new applications that it hopes will increase the demand for new phones.

Mobile applications for smart phones is hot. The fact that Apple’s App Store has had more than 1 billion only after loading to be around for a year, meaning that smartphone users are hungry for applications that make their phones more useful and interesting. But the developers, whether large or small, have limited resources and time, and they must choose a platform to develop applications for the former.

   While it is clear that the iPhone is the first platform developers target. As a result, Apple is currently the largest mobile App Store on the market with more than 75000 applications. What this means for consumers is that the more likely that the newest and hottest applications available on the iPhone to other devices.

And the reason the developers decided to develop for the iPhone easy. It has the largest base of users of interactive. It also has a simple and effective distribution channel through ITunes Store. And it is easy to develop for the view that there is a one-size screen and one version of the operating system.

“Developing applications for the iPhone is no threat,” said Noam Bardin, CEO of Mobile App called Waze, who developed a navigation application for iPhone, Android, Symbian and Windows Mobile Platforms. “You get a much greater return for each line of code to write for the iPhone . But then the question arises as to what platform you develop on? ”

Now, it seems that most developers to create applications for research in devices BlackBerry Motion’s. And then they move to developing for Google Android.

“What happens is the Android platform is the third for people to think,” said Alex Quilici, CEO of YouMail, a free, Visual voice service, which is available for the iPhone, BlackBerry, Android, and devices. “The way we did it like YouMail has received more and more audiences, we began to see 4 percent or 5 percent of our audience for Android. And we have built Android App meet these people because it is relatively easy to do.”

Earlier this week, Yahoo announced the use of Flickr for the iPhone and the two other applications for Yahoo IPHONES and several devices BlackBerry. The company said it plans to release versions of these applications for other phones, such as Android phones later.

“We will make the application available on Android device, and Palm Previously later”, Sandeep Gupta, senior director of mobile applications, Yahoo said. “We’re not waiting for these devices have a critical mass, but we have priorities. And that means developing applications for devices with the most interactive mobile users in the first place.”

Android powerful potential
IPhone and BlackBerry are two of the leading smartphones in the U.S. market, so it makes sense for developers, as Yahoo, to develop for these devices in the first place. But as more Android phones coming to market in the coming months, the priorities among the developers may change. Apple, which has at least two years head start on the rest of the market will undoubtedly be a top priority for the developers for a long time in the future. But Android, most likely, Garner some attention as well.

“You will see a slow but steady growth in development for Android,” Quilici said. “And it will depend on people to migrate existing applications or extending applications, interfaces to services.”

This week, the two most popular mobile applications, social network Facebook-site and online radio service Pandora, each released applications on Android Market. These applications have been available for several months in the App Store and the BlackBerry world.

In many ways, Android has the potential for even greater platform for developers than the iPhone. Many developers have already been impressed with Google’s open approach to the market. Moreover, that source code is freely available for developers, which allows you to easily develop on the platform, but developers can also deploy their applications directly to the Android Market. This means that developers can get updates and new versions of their applications immediately, without waiting to be approved by Apple.

The only thing that could hurt Apple in the long run is the fact that the company claims that each application gets the App Store. Developers often complain that the process can be lengthy and often denied the application without any specific explanation.

“The biggest challenge for developers when it comes to Apple is their use of certified,” said Bardin. “The whole process is a black box. You do not know how long it takes, or if your application is approved. ”

Meanwhile, BlackBerry, perhaps the biggest audience in terms of smartphones in the U.S. market, but developers say it is the most difficult environment to develop applications for because there are so many different versions of devices with different screen size and screen resolution, and even small differences the operating system.

New BlackBerry AppWorld store also not really taken off, however, partly because it is not as easy as App Store for iPhone. Payments are made through PayPal and the audience are likely to pay for the performance of applications, not games and other applications, in accordance with Quilici. Another problem is AppWorld store is not available on every BlackBerry, which means open easier for some users than for others.

Then there is Android. Platform is the easiest to develop for. However, the market has so far been small, because there were only two devices are available in the U.S., G1 and MyTouch, how did HTC and sold T-Mobile. Sprint also announced it will offer Android phone on October 11. Internationally Android-powered devices have been launched in 21 countries with 32 carriers in 11 languages.

Lack of Android devices could prevent some developers from wasting money and effort to develop applications for Android Market.

Google confirmed that the Android Market has more than 9500 applications - some of which are free and some of them are paid. Here are just a part of the number of applications available in Apple App Store. Nevertheless, Android users are very active, Google said. Users have downloaded an average of 40 applications on their devices, and four out of five users download at least one application a week.

Now, when manufacturers finally, hire new devices Google Android, there could be much larger audience of developers to achieve. Motorola, is expected to announce two new phones Android on Thursday. And the Chinese manufacturer Huawei has announced the prepayment Android Phone for Europe. Other manufacturers such as Samsung and Sony Ericsson, are also expected to launch new Android phones this year.

The big question for the developers to go forward is whether all these new Android devices will work with applications in the Android Market.

“There will be not just one screen size or resolution. CPU utilization can be different,” said Bardin. “It’s all the different devices from different manufacturers. And now we do not know what will happen. We do not know the changes that each manufacturer makes to the OS.

The only thing that can make the phenomenal success of Android if Google can crack the mobile advertising market with its application store. In June, Google has launched a beta version of AdSense for mobile applications, which allows developers to profit from the display of text and image ads in their iPhone and Android applications.

“If consumers do not have to pay for applications, because they are subsidized by advertising,” Bardin continued. “And if the developers can make money through advertising, is home to launch Android for sure.”
