> When Motorola first made its maneuver into Android-land, I remember every bus shelter, subway platform, billboard, everything plastered in Droid ads, with clever (if slightly unimaginative) slogans. And that shows how powerful marketing can be. The Droid wasn't Motorola's first foray in to Android-land. That milestone belongs to the Motorola Cliq (in US on T-Mobile) / Dext (outside US). The Droid was Verizon's first foray into Android-land and they marketed the hell out of their new smartphone brand (licensed from Lucasfilm), so that's what you remember.
