Motorola confirms Google phone

Motorola has let the cat out of the bag – that they will join HTC in terms of status by being a company to develop a Google-branded smartphone (HTC already has the Nexus One). According to Motorola chief executive Sanjay Jha, Motorola aims to create a ”direct to consumer device with Google” without spilling any additional beans, but this could point towards the Motorola Shadow as the Nexus Two, so to speak. Do you think this will boost Motorola’s profile by a mile, and will it resemble the Droid by any means?

From its modest debuts, Android has become a powerhouse that powers not only smartphones and tablet, but a host of other less high-profile devices and gadgets. Although Android is not a community-driven project, Google does release the source code as open-source under the Apache license. You can follow Ubergizmo on Android with Google Currents.
