Motorola announced third-party
solutions for its upcoming Android devices. Through its partner ecosystem, Motorola enables consumers to
extend and customize their mobile device experiences with applications
that can be pre-loaded, embedded or downloaded on its Android-powered
devices.
Signature applications are designed to help consumers personalize
their phones so that their experience is uniquely tailored to their
lifestyle. With Android-powered Motorola devices, like the recently
announced Motorola CLIQ with MOTOBLUR, consumers will be able
to access content, multi-media offerings and stay connected through
applications from partners such as Accuweather, Amazon MP3, Barnes
& Noble, CardStar, Comcast Entertainment Group, Hands On Mobile,
Howcast.com, Midomi, MySpace, QuickOffice, QuickPlay Media, RjDj,
Superpages.com, and Travel Channel.
Motorola's ecosystem partners around Android have developed
signature applications that consumers increasingly expect with their
mobile device," said Christy Wyatt, vice president, software
applications and ecosystem, Motorola Mobile Devices. "Working closely
with these companies allows us to provide a compelling mobile
Android-based experience that satisfies specific consumer needs."
Motorola provides developers with the broadest market reach through
MOTODEV, the company's global program for developers and independent
software vendors (ISVs). MOTODEV offers a streamlined path into
multiple distribution channels including Android Market(TM) and
operator channels. Developers interested in Android application
