BASKING RIDGE and SCHAUMBURG, USA - The world's first manufacturer to produce a mobile device - Motorola - has been overshadowed by competing manufacturers for most part of this year. Setting things straight, the electronics giant announced its first Android device - the Motorola Cliq during GigaOm’s Mobilize event in San Francisco last week.

Following up on its recent resurgence, the Illinois based manufacturer is releasing a budget device, and another mid-level device has also been spotted on the web.
