China is one of Motorola's last safe havens for Windows Mobile-powered devices (http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/motorolas-surf-a3100-headlines-three-pack-of-new-phones/), but even the Far East is falling to the inevitable onslaught of little green robots -- one need look no further than the XT701, MT710, and XT800 (http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/19/motorolas-xt701-mt710-and-xt800-do-android-for-chinas-big-th/) for evidence of that. That leads us to believe that the company's 2010 haul of smartphones for China will be primarily Android-based -- particularly in light of China Mobile's commitment to it through Open Mobile System (http://mobile.engadget.com/tag/OpenMobileSystem/) -- expanding on comments in Korea this week by Moto's GM of the mobile devices business that there will "probably another four or five [smartphones] later" in the region following the recent announcements of the MT710 and XT800 and the upcoming launch of the XT701. Considering that China continues to be a stronghold for Moto, we're not surprised to see so much of the company's product R&D dollars go that way -- as long as the rest of the world ends up getting some trickle-down benefit, of course.Motorola China has a bunch of smartphones on tap this year (http://mobile.engadget.com/2010/01/18/motorola-china-has-a-bunch-of-smartphones-on-tap-this-year/) originally appeared on Engadget Mobile (http://mobile.engadget.com) on Mon, 18 Jan 2010 11:21:00 EST.
