Motorola To Become Leading Android SupplierMotorola To Become Leading Android Supplier

Motorola is predicted to become the leading supplier of Android devices, pushing HTC to the number two spot. Motorola got real serious with Android with the launch of the Verizon based Droid and it looks like that is paying off.DigiTimes is predicting that Motorola will account for 34.7% of Android devices in 2010 with HTC close behind at 31.9%. That is quite a change from 2009 where HTC commanded 64.5% of the Android market. Motorola's Droid came onto the scene and grabbed 25% of the market by itself, aided by an intense advertising campaign led by Verizon.

That signals a turn in HTC's fortunes as a leading maker of smartphones. Unlike many other manufacturers such as Samsung or Nokia, HTC focuses almost entirely on smartphones. They are known for heavily customizing the user interface of their devices.
