T-Mobile announced that the Motorola CLIQ was released to stores and available nationwide today. This is Motorola’s first Android phone, but the release seems like ancient history with the Motorola Droid constantly overshadowing this Moto-Android pioneer. The CLIQ includes Motorola’s MOTOBLUR, a device managing feature that integrates various communications—from work e-mail to social networking activity. MOTOBLUR updates to contacts, posts, messages, photos and more are streamed together and synced from sources including Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, Gmail, work and personal e-mail, and automatically delivered to the home screen of the CLIQ in easy-to-view streams.

T-Mobile says the CLIQ “delivers a powerful 3G mobile Web experience by harnessing the strength and speed of T-Mobile’s 3G network and Wi-Fi.” This new Android phone from Motorola is available in two colors – Titanium and Winter White. The CLIQ features a full slide-out QWERTY keyboard, a 3.1-inch HVGA full touch-screen display, support for T-Mobile’s high-speed 3G network and Wi-Fi, a 5 megapixel auto-focus camera with video capture, a 3.5mm headset jack, a music player with pre-loaded Amazon MP3 store application, Shazam, iMeem Mobile, AccuWeather, MySpace Mobile, Quickoffice and a pre-installed 2GB microSD memory.

Snapchat is already packed with little symbols that can be weirdly hard to decode. You have streaks, emojis, badges, scores, Best Friends, and if you use Snapchat Plus, a tiny solar system that shows where you sit in someone’s closest-friends list.

The feature is called Friend Solar System, though most people just call it Snapchat Planets. It takes your position in a friend’s Snapchat orbit and turns it into a planet. From Mercury to Neptune, these celestial bodies signify how close a person is to you.

WhatsApp Web

As one of the most popular messaging services, you’ve already heard of WhatsApp. From its humble beginnings in 2009—two years before Apple introduced iMessage—to its acquisition by Facebook (now Meta) in 2014, WhatsApp has become the dominant messaging platform around the globe.

In recent years, it's grown even more potent with new features like video messages, self-destructing voice messages, the ability to edit sent messages, and more. We even finally got an WhatsApp iPad app in May 2025.
