The company will focus on user experience, among other

Mobile phone maker Motorola has delivered to the market one of the most popular current Android handsets, the Motorola DROID, launched in the US via Verizon, and which is also available in other markets around the world under the name of MILESTONE. One of the most praised features of the MILESTONE is the multi-touch functionality, and it seems that Motorola is set to include it in most of the handsets it will launch on the market from now on.

[admark=1]In a recent interview with Laptop Mag, Motorola CEO Sanjay Jha said exactly that “I think you will see us deliver multitouch in the majority of our devices going forward. There’s a complex set of factors, not all of them technical. But I think you’ll see us being proactive on multitouch because the user feedback on multitouch is very good.” In other words, there are great chances that US mobile phone users will also be able to enjoy this feature in the near future, since European ones are already familiar with it on the company's handsets.

However, this is not the only thing that Sanjay Jha said there, even if it is one of the most important ones. He also talked about the company's Motoblur solution on its Android handsets in comparison to the Google Experience some of them receive. It seems that the latter type of devices, such as the DROID, have small chances to receive Motoblur, “It's (the Google Experience) actually deeply integrated so we would have to make some changes in the platform. It’s not as easy as flicking a switch.” On the other hand, the DROID seems to have been received pretty well the way it is now, and one should agree that Motorola made significant steps forwards when compared to a few quarters ago.

When asked about how the company plans to stay ahead of competition, he said the following: “I would say our focus on the software and user experience. I would also say our brand. We do a lot of studies, and we’re probably the number one or number two brand in the U.S. in mobile, probably behind Apple. And in China and Latin America we’re similarly positioned. The second thing that’s important is global distribution. […] I think that we still do hardware as well as anybody does. And I think that our Motoblur service and aggregation stand out. There’s a point to be made about push Internet. People want what the information that they want without going out and getting it. And we believe really strongly in this notion of push Internet.”
