Motorola May Design its own brand to sell Google

Motorola Inc. plans to make a phone that Google will sell its direct sales channel and cellular device that could potentially sport the Motorola brand, company cell chief Mr.Sanjay Jha said in an interview Wednesday.

Mr.Jha said he sees Google's controversial plan to sell phones directly as another way for Motorola to get its phones to consumers, but noted that Motorola does not get in the business of contract manufacturing.

"One of the following devices in Google will sell to their direct channel will be by us," Jha said in an interview at the Consumer Electronics Show. "It is an alternative channel to deliver devices for consumers."

The executive said that even if some details were not yet clear, he saw Motorola's strong brand as one of the reasons Google wanted it as part of its plan to sell direct.

Mr.Jha also said that a tablet PC is one of many products Motorola plans to do. Motorola will also sell a touch screen phone for U.S. market, the executive said, repeating a commitment to sell a minimum of 20 different models of Android phones this year.
