4G Android Smartphones, Tablets, and iPhone Threat on Verizon?

At the Credit Suisse 2010 Technology Conference, Motorola co-CEO Sanjay Jha confirms the company will launch 4G devices early in 2011 and will also have 7- and 10-inch tablets as well.

Jha says that Motorola tablets will most likely use custom software as a differentiating factor. Whether Motorola will call its tablet software MOTO BLUR, like it does on Android smartphones, is unclear or if the company will utilize another UI design all together.

Interestingly enough, Jha hints that a new “competitive dynamic” will disrupt Motorola’s relationship with Verizon in the first quarter that will have a significant negative impact on Motorola.

Whether the comment is an indirect reference to Verizon Wireless getting an iPhone or an official 3G/4G-capable iPad that’s compatible with the carrier’s network out of the box is unclear.

To combat the threat, Motorola will continue to focus on the mid- to high-tier smartphone market.
