The devices pictured are the Microsoft Kin 1 and Kin 2. The Moto-Square seems to be closer in design to the Kin 1 (the smaller one) and is using Moto-Blur 1.5 on Android 2.1. That is what the leaked documents are showing. Hopefully that means that the 2.1 update for existing Blur based sets is coming soon.

Excuse me, my lunch is coming back up.

BBC News - Microsoft debuts 'social' phone

Unusual concept. It really means you have to look through all the pages of your friends to find the info you could get by just going to FB or one of the others on Droid.
