Power Lunch With Your Business Ready Smartphone

April 30, 2012 : BY Motorola

Ditch the bland, humdrum of your workplace cafeteria and add a little spice to your lunch hour. Summer’s around the corner, so it’s almost time for you to take advantage of the trendy food trucks in your city! Lucky for you, every Motorola Business Ready smartphone (including DROID 4 by Motorola & DROID RAZR MAXX by Motorola) has the ingredients you need to plan the perfect lunch hour.

  • Twitter Widgets: Sync your Twitter app to the big screen and get real-time updates from food trucks so you don’t miss out on that last taco or BBQ beef sandwich you’ve been craving all morning.
  • Google Maps: Utilize turn-by-turn directions and detailed maps with 3D buildings so you can find your favorite food trucks no matter where they park.
  • Customized Screens: Keep your business and productivity apps on one screen and your food reviews, food-truck locations and other pleasure-of-the-palate-related apps on another. That way, you can do a quick switch so the boss doesn’t catching you cooking up lunch ideas (when you should be paying attention to her presentation).

The app features reviews of each location’s “Wi-Fi, noise, power availability, community feel, even the quality of the coffee.

LiquidSpace

Motorola’s history of innovation: the original RAZR

April 24, 2012 : BY Motorola

If you’ve had a long relationship with Motorola devices, chances are that you toted a MOTORAZR around in your pocket. We’re not talking about the DROID RAZR by Motorola you’ve come to know and love, we’re throwing it back to the original RAZR.

The super-stylish MOTORAZR set a trend for cell flip-phones– starting with its launch in 2004, starting the trend of thin being in. More than 130 million devices were sold, making it the best-selling flip-phone of all time.

But, there’s more to this beloved device than flipping-to-answer and text messaging with T9 word. Innovation was at the heart of the MOTORAZR. The 13.9 mm thin phone used aircraft-grade aluminum to achieve several design and engineering innovations, including a nickel-plated keypad. It was sturdy, strong and stylish.

Our history of innovation didn’t start or stop with the MOTORAZR. Visit our decades of milestones on Facebook to take a peek at the advances that Motorola has made and tell us your favorite MOTORAZR memory in the comments.
