Motorola Readies Its Own Android Social Smartphone

As the wireless world awaits the Oct. 22 debut of the first phone based on the Google-backed Android software, engineers at Motorola
are hard at work on their own Android handset. Motorola's version will
boast an iPhone-like touch screen, a slide-out qwerty keyboard, and a
host of social-network-friendly features, BusinessWeek.com has learned.

Motorola has been showing spec sheets and images of the phone to
carriers around the world in the past two months and is likely to
introduce the handset in the U.S. sometime in the second quarter of
2009, according to people familiar with Motorola's plans. Building a
phone based on the highly anticipated Android operating system is part
of Motorola's effort to revive a loss-making handset division that has
forfeited market share amid a drought of bestselling phones.

The phone will appear among a new class of social smartphones designed to make it easy for users to connect quickly and easily to mobile social networks such as Facebook and MySpace. Such phones let users message in-network friends directly from phone contact lists.
