Motorola Droid is a brand-new phone today. Like many smartphones before it, the Droid has been rooted so that owners of the Android 2.0-based smartphone can install multitouch support (including pinch-to-zoom gestures), enhanced themes and other previously forbidden goodies. A hacked Droid would allow you to modify the operating system any way you want, and add functions to the device that may have been previously restricted.

MotoRizr Z6 to feature single-core architecture

Motorola first Linux phone with single core architecture. Traditionally smart phones feature dual processor, one for baseband and the other for application, possibly to avoid lagging or sudden disconnect when talking midway, the down side on having two processor is the shorter battery life. Motorola is the first company to introduce a single core architecture, thus increase the phone battery life and reduce cost. The MotoRizr Z6 runs on Freescale processor, a sub-company of Motorola, if things goes well, Motorola might be powering most of the smart phone in the future.
