Motorola Pins Hopes On Android, But Analysts Are Not Sure

Android, Android, Android. To say that beleaguered cellphone maker Motorola (NYSE: MOT) is pinning its hopes on the operating system would be an understatement. Today, after co-CEO and head of its mobile unit Sanjay Jha confirmed during its Q1 earnings call that Motorola was on course to launch Android-based smartphones in time for the fourth quarter holiday season, analysts grilled him in the question and answer session, wanting to know just how much Motorola can differentiate itself from its rivals while using Android, and if operators were biting. Here’s what Jha had to say

Motorola throws out “social networking” catchphrase to describe Android phone

It's no secret that Motorola's beefing up its Android staff in preparation to launch some actual hardware, but it is kinda interesting to hear them phrase it as a "social networking" device. In all likelihood, that's little more than a catchphrase for a hip-looking QWERTY device these days, but if that means they're funneling tens upon tens of people into the best mobile MySpace app the world has ever seen, we're going to lose our sanity.

Motorola Karma QA1 brings serious mobile social networking

It’s pretty fair to say that Motorola has one very specific demographic in mind with its new Karma QA1: socially connected teenagers.

Launching on June 28th, the Motorola Karma QA1 is all about keeping you connected on the go by any means necessary, and doing it at a price that won’t send parents in to a tizzy over buying it for their youngsters. Priced at $79.99 on contract after a $50 mail-in rebate, the QA1 may not be an iPhone, but it is certainly going to give teens the features they want.
