Motorola Files Suit Against Microsoft

Motorola subsidiary Motorola Mobility has officially filed a lawsuit against Windows-maker Microsoft for patent infringement.

The case was filed with the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida and the Western District of Wisconsin with the accompanying statement claiming infringement on Motorola’s PC and Server software products within Microsoft’s Windows Mobile and Xbox products.

This lawsuit is simply a follow-up to Microsoft’s original suit which claim infringements by Motorola where that company’s Android-powered smartphones were concerned. With Microsoft’s original filing coming directly on the heels of Motorola’s decision to not produce Windows Phone 7 devices, the entire affair stinks of tit-for-tat tactics and sour grapes but that’s for the courts to decide.

Verizon Reveals Motorola Citrus

American wireless provider Verizon has announced the Motorola Citrus, an Android-powered entry-level smartphone, during the ongoing CTIA trade show in San Francisco, California.

General hardware specifications have yet to be released but we do know that the Citrus will run Google android 2.1 and will offer low-end features such as a humble camera. Motorola did confirm that the Citrus will sport a BACKTRACK touchpad, similar to touchpads seen on notebook computers, allowing users to navigate the device and its apps easily. The MOTOBLUR user interface has also been confirmed to be included with the Android installation.

The Motorola Citrus is constructed from 25 percent post-consumer recycled plastic, has a CarbonFree certification and is 100 percent free of PVC and BFR. The phone’s packaging will be made from 80 percent post-consumer recycled paper while the included manual will be made from 100 percent recycled materials.

Verizon expects to add the Citrus to its lineup before the holiday shopping season; pricing details have yet to be announced.

U.S. Cellular Picks Up Motorola Grasp

Motorola, in a joint announcement with American provider U.S. Cellular, has announced the upcoming Motorola GRASP feature phone, an attractive handset in the disguise of a smartphone.

Sporting a full QWERTY keyboard alongside features like a 1.3 megapixel camera and 2.2 inches of viewing space, the GRASP’s claim to fame lies more in its eco-friendly label then its ability to satisfy your average techie; the environmental claim is made as the phone’s housing is made BFR- and PVC-free, allowing it to be easily recycled at the end of its life.
