Motorola is ready to acquire a small company called Azingo, who makes a Mobile OS based on Linux.

The current OS, Azingo Mobile 2.0, already includes a comprehensive application suite including a Webkit-based browser, web runtime, Flash runtime, and full developer tools.

Despite the strong relationship with Google, by producing lots of Android based phone, Motorola is looking beyond to have its own mobile operating system.

According to Sanjay Jha, Co-CEO of Motorola: “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.”

And we may see new type of phones coming from Motorola in the future.
