Motorola launching Android Smart Phone Soon
As my previous post on HTC and Motorola are actually embarking seriously on installing Android Mobile OS in respective mobile phones in near future. Reported by Mobile88.com again on Motorola’s strategy on using Android Mobile OS for them to re-capture the mobile phone market share:-
Motorola has reaffirmed plans to focus on Google’s Android platform as it attempts to spearhead a recovery in its handsets division. Speaking on the company’s 2Q09 earnings call yesterday, co-CEO Sanjay Jha said the vendor was on track to launch two new Android-based phones in time for the holiday season, and plans to release more in the first quarter of 2010. “[The new Android-based phones] will get us back in the game in smartphones,” he said. He added that Motorola already has deals in place with two major US mobile operators to carry the devices, “with more to follow.” According to reports, Sprint is one likely customer. The new phones will include both smartphones and feature phones, Jha said. The company’s ailing handset division showed slight signs of recovery in 2Q. The firm shipped 14.8 million handsets in the quarter, giving it an estimated 5.5 percent market share. This was down from 28.1 million (9.1 percent share) a year earlier but a slight improvement on the 14.7 million (6 percent share) in the previous quarter.
