We've just taken our seats in the theater. The event should begin in about 20 minutes.

We're camped out in the press pit - the powerstrips are juiced, and the WiFi seems to be stable. Everything looks good so far!
We've still got a few more minutes before the event starts, but the house is already pretty packed.
The showing here today is a lot different than yesterday's Apple event, primarily because it's happening as part of a larger conferences. More industry folks than press. We're seeing faces from Samsung, Telenav, T-Mobile and a bunch of other companies in the audience.
We've been asked to take our seats - looks like this shows about to start.
Kevin Tofel's on stage making the introductions, and the Motorola logo has taken over the projector.
"Nows the moment most of you have been waiting for.."
"I'd like to introduce the Co-CEO of motorola, Sanjay Jha"
"Good morning everyone... Good MORNING everyone!"
(Audience sleepily responds 'Good morning')

"According to Comscore, the number of users using mobile broadband doubled from 2008 to 2009"
"This rapid expansion has been especially true in North America and Europe"
He continues to read off more stats.
"Smartphones are probably the background on which mobilization of the internet will occur"
"But today, there is no common understanding of 'Smartphone'"

- Large, Hi res display
- Anywhere, anytime wireless broadband
- Robust HTML browser
- Over the air software updates
-Rich Messaging capabilities
- Good voice quality
- Multi-threaded, Multi- tasking OS
The Android logo has filled the screen.
"Android is a modern, well architected, modular operating system"
"It also allows for competitive differentiation."

They want to give users the ability to customize their experience
