Ah… the rumors do seem to run rampid at the close of the 2008 year. Well we reported earlier that Motorola was developing mid level and high end handsets for the Android platform but would not come out with anything until late in 2009. Now there is talk from Spain that Motorola is abandoning Symbian all together. The Symbian/Motorola relationship was tentative at best with most of Motorola’s eggs in the UIQ basket that fell to the wayside with Symbian’s transition to an open platform. Motorola’s timetable does not seem to have changed with release dates for the Android based handsets slated for Q4 of 2009. We still think this is giving the competition a big jump as far as market exposure. Hope we don’t have to tell Moto “We told you so”. But on the optimistic side, Motorola and Android seem to be a good pair and we look forward to seeing what their offspring will bring.
