Motorola flashes its OHA member card, confirms it's working on Android products

It goes without saying that any company hooked up with Android's patron saint -- the Open Handset Alliance -- has at least a passing interest in actually doing something with Android, and in Motorola's case, we're going to go out on a limb here and say that, you know, in all likelihood, they were fixin' to drop an Android build onto a phone or two at some point down the road. Indeed, BetaNews has received a brief, largely unhelpful statement from Moto saying that it "look[s] forward to delivering great products in partnership with Google and the Open Handset Alliance community," which -- in light of the recent Android hiring frenzy alleged on Moto's campus -- is about the minimum amount of disclosure a company could make shy of saying nothing at all. While it probably stings from their perspective to see HTC get all the glory for the first Google-ified phone out of the gate, let's hope (for their sake, if nothing else) that this stealth-mode, take-our-time philosophy leads to some killer material out of Schaumburg down the road.

I'm hoping Motorola gets model on deck soon. The G1 from HTC isn't up the job of bing the flagship Android device. It's OK, just sort of dull. For Android to get the audience it needs to be successful it's going to take something thin, sleek, and cool. Here's hoping the company behind the RAZR can come up with that device.

Unfortunately for you - Google and Tmobile is not about slick, cool and whatever. That's Apple - Design over function. That's why the iphone has so many operational issues with the user.

Thanks for spamming the comment system. BTW - you cant have comma's in your URL.

Thanks, then.

That's what happens when I post comments late at night: I make mistakes.

I include a link to my site to show that I really know what I'm talking about, and I'm neither someone just spouting off without any information nor am I the well-known tattoo artist and clothing designer of the same name.
