Motorola CLIQ XT first impressions
The device runs MOTOBLUR on top of Android 1.5 and is designed as a slate/tablet form factor for T-Mobile. Specs-wise, it uses a similar processor to the MOTO CLIQ. What’s notable is that Motorola included two back battery covers. There’s a textured rubberized back that feels really good in the hands in classic black as well as a smooth, metallic purple finish for a spunkier day.

This is for all people who want to try the Android OS on their HTC Touch Pro2 devices!
This is currently the best working Android ROM we can get going on the HTC Touch Pro2. It is far from complete, but every day the XDAndroid Devs have breakthroughs which bring us closer to a full working port. Full data is working , including Marketplace, Geo-Locations, and all Sync options. If data is not working fully perhaps check your APN settings (HERE). The USB charger will work, but the battery meter does not function properly, it will almost always show 100%.

Dual boot Windows Mobile and Android OS
Gen.Y DualBOOT v1.03[QVGA|VGA|WVGA] – Dual boot solution for Windows Mobile devices with XDANDROID.
Android on Windows Mobile devices is getting more and more popular, especially with the latest developments, and it’s almost ready for daily use. If you want to have an app so we could easily boot into both Windows Mobile & Android, and Gen.Y DualBOOT was the solution. This release is made for VGA devices, and supports booting Android both from Internal Storage (moviNAND, e.g. Touch Diamond) & Storage Card (SDMemory, e.g. Touch Pro). WVGA version and QVGA version is also ready. This app has been tested on WM6.1, but will work perfectly on WM6.5.x as well.
Keep in mind that your android setup must be installed already at the root of your storage card in order for this app to work correctly (e.g. \Internal Storage\haret.exe or \Storage Card\haret.exe respectively).
