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.

As James Kendrick noted on GigaOm over the weekend, ARCHOS has set a date--September 15th--for the launch of its new ARCHOS 5 Internet Tablet. ARCHOS has made quite a few popular video-centric devices over the years, and this new gadget will have a 5-inch display designed for HD video, a fast chip optimized for video processing, and a 500GB hard drive. In conjunction, though, ARCHOS is also launching AppsLib, a dedicated app store for high-end Android-based devices. Do we really need fragmentation among Android app stores?
