Although Motorola doesn’t feel like talking about its upcoming Android smartphones, it seems that the company is pretty eager to come across some talented Android developers. The official MOTODEV site is now clearly open to developers who want to participate in the making of a rich application catalog, meaning devices are indeed in the works. Christy Wyatt, Motorola’s vice president of software platforms, has said that after collaborating with MOTODEV, Android app makers will have the opportunity to distribute their products through numerous channels, informs Forbes. This includes the Android Market, carrier stores, direct sales and third party distributors. Apparently, the most innovative and useful apps have a chance to come preloaded on future Android-powered Motorola phones.

The company hopes to attract attention because of the many Android products it plans to roll out, as well as their global distribution. Christy Wyatt has also said their handsets will vary from mid- to high-end and will be targeted to both the consumer and the enterprise markets, relying on messaging and multimedia features (the rumored Morrison for T-Mobile seems to fit in these characteristics).

Remember that T-Mobile Android 2009 roadmap? Well, guess what – a new version of it has leaked, with more of those black areas revealed. As the pieces of the puzzle begin to find their places, we now know that the G1 V2, which was a subject of discussion some days ago, is indeed codenamed Bigfoot. Sadly, information is missing about the manufacturer working on it. On the other hand however, a new Android-powered handset is revealed, which, surprisingly, is coming from Moto. The Motorola Morrison, as you can see, looks a lot like the device that was believed to be the Motorola G1 V2. Тhe Samsung Houdini, which is also listed here, is obviously a candybar, but we are not sure if it isn’t the i7500, which has already been officially announced by Samsung and approved by the FCC. What  remains to be seen is actually which manufacturer will bring the G1 V2, aka Bigfoot. These three phones are all expected to be released sometime in the end of the year, with the Bigfoot and the Samsung Houdini coming a bit earlier.
