Motorola will not allow itself to be left out as far as Android-based handsets are concerned. And to make life easier for the app developers, Motorola releases the MOTODEV Studio an Android development resource for apps specifically for Motorola handsets.

The launch of this new platform is seen as something in line with the rapid growth of the Android platform. We have seen it in most smartphones in the market today and to make sure that Motorola has its share of the limelight, the MOTODEV Studio is certainly one that should keep them on track.

For the app developers, here is what you can expect:

• Early access to tools, technical specs, documentation and other development support resources.
• Exclusive pre-release access to upcoming Motorola devices for testing and debugging.
• Direct access to Motorola’s developer support engineers via private discussion boards.
• Maximum market exposure for applications as soon as new mobile devices ship to users.

Motorola will also make publicly available the MOTODEV Studio for Android Beta. MOTODEV Studio is a powerful, Eclipse- based integrated development environment that works with Google’s software development kit.
