JKOnTheRun has a couple of interesting Android-related items up today. First, at the Mobilize 09 conference that GigaOm is putting on on September 10th in San Francisco, Motorola?s co-CEO Sanjay Jha will be launching the company's Android portfolio of smartphones during his keynote. And, yes, the company has a portfolio of Android phones to announce. Second, you can take a look at one of two new Android-based tablet devices that ARCHOS has in the works. It looks to be a touchscreen, video-centric device, and there are several photos of it here. As we've been reporting, Android is really picking up steam.

Motorola is still on track to deliver a few smartphone handsets based on the open source Android operating system this year, as JKOnTheRun notes, and the Android and Me blog names them as Sholes (a Verizon phone) and Morrison (a T-Mobile phone). The phones represent a big bet for Motorola, which has lost its way in the smartphone competition. According to Android and Me, the Morrison smartphone will have several advantages over the currently state-of-the-art myTouch 3G Android phone. Check out the details here, and here.
