Fuels speculation that Motorola will make its own OS
Azingo says its next-generation Linux platform and engineering services 'significantly reduce development costs and shorten delivery schedules for chipset and handset manufacturers, integrators, and operators'.
The platform includes an application suite including a Webkit-based browser, web runtime, Flash runtime, and full developer tools.
Motorola's successful (relatively) comeback into the mobile space has been built around a commitment to Android.
But with Samsung building Bada, HP swooping for Palm OS, Nokia about to upgrade Symbian and RIM sticking with its own OS, there is some pressure on major OEMs to have a proprietary platform.
Motorola’s co-CEO Sanjay Jha recently hinted at the pull of having an OS to call its own.

He said: “I’ve always felt that owning your OS is important, provided you have an ecosystem, you have all the services and you have an ability and the scale to execute on keeping that OS at the leading edge.
"And I continue to believe that at some point, if we have all of those attributes, that owning our own OS will be a very important thing.”Sanjay JhaCo-CEO Motorola
