Dennis Woodside offers up Jelly Bean info, $100 credits, the ‘New Motorola’ direction and Developer Edition Devices

For those that haven’t been paying attention to the transitions nd the new leadership, Dennis Woodside was appointed CEO of Motorola shortly after Google was approved for the purchase. He was with Google for 9 years and did great things. Now he is in charge of making the Motorola side of things amazing. He had a few great things to say about where Motorola is heading, what they plan to do and a few other details that any fan of Motorola, or even hater, can take a liking too.

While the order of the information we are about to provide might be in correct, the information is right.

First off, the ‘New Motorola’ as he put it, is going forward and focusing on three key areas for devices and the future. The first big bet that he his putting all his money on is Speed. Not internal speed of the processor and the chipsets, but 4G LTE data speeds. Which Motorola has already heavily invested in over the years. He offers up that 4G LTE enabled devices and users connect and use ten times more data than anyone on 3G. This should come as no surprise though, faster speeds and quicker access to data will prompt you to use more data and use your smartphone more. Motorola plans to continue to help create, deploy and offer 4G LTE across the nation and in their devices.

The second component that they are going to shoot for is Power Management. Aiming to give consumers longer battery life in their devices on a single charge while still giving them ample connection to 4G LTE and using their device for what they want when they want it. Better battery life has always been an issue with Android devices and manufacturers. Users often have to charge their device at least once during the day. That is not only inconvenient, but limits the amount of things users will do. Often times you will decide to watch a YouTube video later or not stream a movie out of fear your device won’t have the battery power later in the day. This is one area that Motorola has really shined with the RAZR line. Even a heavy user should get a full day out of their RAZR without having to plug it in once.

The third area Motorola is going to focus heavily on is Android. Obviously Motorola is already heavily invested in Android and took the plunge with the first DROID and made a killing with that gamble. Lets face it, in the beginning the Android OS was a gamble and for a company to put all there efforts towards it took some guts. All three new devices and others going forward will have Chrome pre-installed as the web browser. He also touched on updates which leads into the next little segment of this post.

Motorola has plans to update every device since 2011 that is capable of handling Jelly Bean. The three newest members to the RAZR family are launching with Ice Cream Sandwich initially but will have a Jelly bean update by the end of the year. Here is where it gets a little bit better though. If you are a current Motorola Android owner and lover and your device is not going to make the Jelly Bean update cut, then Motorola is going to offer you a $100 credit towards the purchase of one of the three newly announced RAZR’s. Combine that with new RAZR M and essentially it is free. Not a bad price tag.

We haven’t found the specific details, which devices are able to be traded in or a running list of Moto devices to get Jelly Bean yet, but we will keep looking.

Finally, and one the slightly more important aspects for the Android Community, is the adoption of Developer Edition devices. Fully unlocked and ready to rock devices that all your code monkeys out there can get your hands on to tinker around with and make better. You find them in a retail Verizon store, but you can order them directly from Motorola. It gets even better, the developer edition of the RAZR M is already available to pre-order for $549.99 and ships around September 13th. The RAZR HD developer edition page is live, but you can’t yet order one. You can however go sign up for updates as to when they become available.
