Motorola Recruiting for “Android Social Networking SmartPhone” Project

An innocuous posting on Coroflot might be indication of Motorola’s plans for implementing Android into their hardware lineup. One of our readers sent us a link to a job posting for the Interaction Design Team at Motorola. Is this what the 350+ member team is up to?

As a Senior Staff Interaction Designer, you will be responsible for leading and actively participating in the concept, design, documentation and development of user interfaces for our mobile products including our new Android Social Networking SmartPhone. You’ll lead brainstorming and work sessions, usability and innovation reviews and other forums of design development. In addition to your primary responsibility in the delivery of great design, you will also be expected to mentor other designers, bringing your personal strengths to the rest of the team.

Motorola has been getting somewhat a little more niche lately with their music based ROKR and high resolution camera phone ZN5 series. Maybe they’re going to specifically build a handset around social networking. If done right, it could really work well. Coupling location based applications with your online social presence sounds like a nice mix to us.
