Motorola ATRIX HD: Forget Widgets, New Blur Has Live Icons!

The folks over at DroidLife have managed to get their hands on the Motorola Atrix HD and have taken it for a spin. While the handset comes with Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich it does have the custom Motorola skin Blur on top of it and this version delivers new goodies into the hands of users.

Blur for Motorola ATRIX HD packs some new surprises

One of these is a clock widget that is fully interactive and it is live at all times. Users are able to flip the circle to get a different clock and weather for different cities, info about data plans and how much battery they have left. We’ve also seen other widgets copying this skin to try and get the same look.

The second feature is the arrows which are seen to the left of the icons and these are new live icons which users are able to interact with. Users can simply swipe them and they will give a preview of the app. if you swipe the icon for the phone you can see recent missed calls or calls that you have made. The email icon will show you a preview of your inbox. What’s cool about this is that it provides a wealth of information just like widgets but without taking up too much screen real estate and cluttering up the otherwise clean minimalistic look of the homescreen.

DroidLife is at the moment still playing with their new toy and there is sure to be more features posted.
