In remarks to Chicago’s Executives Club on Wednesday, CEO of Motorola’s Mobile Devices and home business division Sanjay Jha announced another monster iPhone killer to be available by Christmas.
Coming to the Verizon network and sporting the carrier’s premier Droid brand, the new phone will include “everything that is technologically possible in a smartphone today” a Motorola executive who asked to remain anonymous told RCR.
“Everything” apparently includes an Android OS running on top of a 2GHz ARM based NVIDIA Tegra processor, gyroscope (like the newly announced iPhone), “HD screen resolution,” 720p output, and a camera with “more than five megapixel” resolution.
Separately, Motorola announced intentions of releasing two to four phones this year with video conferencing like the Sprint HTC EVO 4G and newest iPhone.It is unclear which chips would be used in these upcoming devices.
Qualcomm announced dual-core 1.5GHz ARM based Snapdragon processors early this month at Computex. Meanwhile, NVIDIA’s Tegra is a variant on the latest generation dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 running at 1GHz.
Jha suggests that with “faster and faster access to information” as well as convergence between device capability and mobile business user needs, most corporate workstations will give way to smartphones over the next four years.
Whether that’s true or not remains to be seen. We’ll keep you posted…in four years time.
