During this morning’s third quarter earnings call, Motorola co-CEO Sanjay Jha revealed that an Android powered handset from Motorola would not happen until the holiday season of 2009.

This revelation follows the news of Motorola’s third quarter earnings report in which the company suffered a deep loss of $397 million. Motorola’s cellphone sales shrank more than 30% year-over-year to an estimated 8.4% market share.

It is believed that over the next 12 months Motorola will continue to launch Windows Mobile powered devices with new models due in the second half of 2009.

and here i was expecting an official Android announcement from Motorola. Sounds like Motorola are in all kinds of trouble - laying off star, trimming down their development.

I only hope that they try real hard with their Android offering and dont just plan on throwing out some subpar hardware in the hope the platform will sell it for them?
