Motorola's Android Smartphones Are for Real: News and Photos Arriving

Recently, we covered Motorola's confirmation that it will deliver several smartphones based on the open source Android operating system later this year. That's good news, because applications have been proliferating for Android--with more than 3,000 available--and Android now has 6 percent of the U.S. smartphone market, even though it has largely been restricted to one handset: the T-Mobile G1 phone. Now, news about and photos of the upcoming Motorola Android phones are making the rounds online. Here are the details.


Motorola Confirms Several Android Smartphones Coming Later This Year

We've reported before on Motorola's interest in delivering phones based on the Android operating system. In October, the company was planning to deliver a new Android phone by the second quarter of this year, a deadline it apparently won't make. However, as InfoWorld reports, Motorola is aiming to deliver several Android-based smartphones in time for the holiday season. The company will launch the phones with multiple carriers in several areas around the world, according to chief of Motorola's mobile device division. Isn't it time for Motorola to pick a smartphone platform to concentrate on, though?


Report: Android Now Has 6 Percent of the U.S. Smartphone Market

In spite of rumblings that the Android operating system isn't spreading out to more handsets, consider this finding from researchers at AdMob: The Android OS now has 6 percent of the U.S. smartphone market and is tied with Palm as the fourth-largest OS. AdMob's latest research on the smartphone market also found that growth in requests [to AdMob's network] from devices running the Android and iPhone operating systems continued to outpace other platforms in March, despite the relatively limited number of devices in market. The growth in requests from devices is largely being driven by very healthy growth in usage of the app stores for both Android and the iPhone. Here are some of the other key points from AdMob's report.



T-Mobile CTO Confirms Several More Android Smartphones Coming

We've recently written about reports that netbooks based on the Android operating system are in the works, and on news and photos of new, upcoming Android smartphones. In addition to these concrete signs of Android development, GigaOm has covered the news of T-Mobile's plans to deliver many Android devices later this year, with three partners. Now, GigaOm has an interview up with Cole Brodman, CTO of T-Mobile U.S.A. ?Brodman confirms that we'll see new Android devices later this year, and confirms seeing Android running on netbook prototypes.


HTC Hero: The First Android Phone with a Slick, Customizable Interface

As JKOnTheRun reports, HTC--the maker of the original T-Mobile G1 Android phone, has today unveiled the HTC Hero smartphone with its new HTC Sense interface. This phone runs Android, and is a thin touch phone with no physical keyboard. The HTC Hero's claim to fame is the HTC Sense interface. It's customizable, and looks very splashy. The Hero will be available in Europe in July and in Asia later this summer. A North American version will be out later this year. There isn't any word on pricing yet, but JKOnTheRun has more details.?


Android Headlines: The Hits Just Keep Comin'

It was only back in March when I wrote this post, Why is Android Stalled? In it, I wondered why there weren't any new smartphones running on the Linux-based operating system, or any other notable news to speak of. It's amazing how quickly that has changed. There are approximately 30 new Android handsets coming from top manufacturers this year, several companies are putting Android on netbooks (a hot hardware category), and there are even new strains of Android appearing. Here are just a few of the notable Android developments from the past few days.
