Motorola Sholes has headed the Android way. According to reports, it is an Android-powered device, which will be available in the US in October this year.
It seems quite feature-rich :
- 480 x 854 3.7-inch display
- 512MB storage, 256MB RAM
- microSD/microSDHC support up to 16GB (8GB ships with phone!)
- 5-megapixel camera with autofocus
- GPS
- USB, Bluetooth 2.0 and WiFi
Possibly, the device will support both CDMA and EVDO Rev A. And, here’s a live shot of the phone :

Motorola is working on an Android cell phone for American carrier giant, Verizon. Possibly, it can be Moto Calgary, which is pictured below. It sports a full Qwerty keyboard. We have no clue about the specs of the device yet. But, the device will be launched in the fourth quarter of this year.

We have all witnessed and sensed the hype and craze surrounding the Android OS since the date it was launched. Every other day, we get news, or should I say, rumors about some or the other company launching an Android product (be it ASUS, Samsung, verizon or HTC).
Today, we have a similar news about Android notebooks. But this comes from an unexpected company, when it comes to notebooks. This news comes from T-Mobile. As per sources, T-Mobile is planning to launch Android powered notebooks, possibly by the end of this year. Rumor has it that it would be made by HTC.
The device is yet to be named. But, the availability of inbuilt 3G connectivity is confirmed. The date of release has not been finalized yet, but probably it will be launched by the end of this year. If this possible date turns into reality, T-Mobile would be one of the first companies to launch an Android notebook.
Now, I see a real surging and bright future of the Android OS in both the notebooks and the mobile phones market. As far as I can recall, no other Operating system in the market had ever experienced such craze and demand in such a short span of time.
We do not have much information about the features available “in the box”. But, as we can see the number of third party applications being released in the Android Market, and the great works of the guys at xda-developers, I am sure it wont take long before any of the missing functionality are added by the developers.
