On June 9th, Sanjay Jha, CEO of Motorola’s consumer business and mobile devices division, made a speech at the Executives Club of Chicago regarding a new 2GHz smartphone being introduced by the end of the year.

The new Motorola phone will be Android based, and is Motorola’s direct answer for Apple’s newly announced iPhone 4. It will support video, contain a gyroscope, and have a decent camera (at least five megapixels). Motorola doesn’t want to stop there, it wants a game changer, so they are giving this phone a whooping 2GHz processor, along with a Nvidia Tegra graphics processor, Flash 10.1 and HD video output.

Times are going by fast, and technology is going even faster. People started using laptops instead of desktops, and recently are shifting to netbooks instead of laptops. Now it seems that smartphones are on their way to being the top computing device. And for them to compete with laptops and netbooks, they must have similar specs, or even better. We haven’t seen any sign of smarphones replacing computing devices, because simply they aren’t powerful enough, yet. Motorola is trying to make the smartphone field even better, they are increasing the processing power of smartphones. This doesn’t mean we will see any smartphones replacing laptops and netbooks anytime soon, but we are getting there, slowly.

I consider Motorola’s move quite interesting. It wants to compete with smartphone giant, the iPhone, and is trying to change the world of computing by making smarphones with similar specs found on computing devices. It won’t be anytime soon, but I can honestly say I am waiting for it to happen. This move by Motorola will only intensify the competition between smartphone manufacturers, which is good, because it will only increase the competition, and it will end up with some high class smartphones.
