Motorola Mobility on September 5 added three powerful Android smartphones to its Droid family ahead of Apple's much-anticipated debut next week of a new-generation iPhone. The additions of RAZR M, RAZR HD, and RAZR MAXX HD to the Motorola line-up came as the first major product news from the company since it was bought by Internet giant Google a year ago in a $12.5 billion deal.
The RAZR smartphones are powered by Google's Android software and synched to the US telecom network of Verizon Wireless. RAZR M smartphones priced at $100, after a $50 rebate for a new two-year Verizon service contract, could be pre-ordered at verizonwireless.com/droidm and would be available on September 13. Motorola head Dennis Woodside said that the other new RAZR models would hit the market by the year-end holidays at prices yet to be disclosed.
Apple is hosting a media event in San Francisco on September 12 at which it is likely to unveil an "iPhone 5".
