We’re expecting to see two devices from Motorola at CES this week: one is probably the Motus/Backflip, and after seeing this Devour (a.k.a. Calgary) in silver pop up, it seems a likely candidate for device number two. Running Motorola’s signature blur user interface on top of Android, packing GPS, Wi-Fi, 3G, and a 3 megapixel…
