Motorola recently released the source code for the CLIQ Android phone. Hidden inside the code was mention of several other upcoming Android phones. The usbloader makes specific mention of the Morrison (CLIQ), Motus, and Zeppelin which were revealed in the leaked Motorola roadmap.

Also included was the codename for a brand new Android phone, the Motorola LaJolla with the following specs:

  • Qualcomm 7201A Processor (528 MHz ARM11)
  • MAX7359 Keypad
  • Kionix 3-axis accelerometer driver for LaJolla board.
  • Motorola Halo i2c touchscreen (240 x 400)

The most interesting feature of LaJolla was the display which features a 240×400 resolution. That was an unsupported screen size for Android, until today. Google just released the latest Android 2.0.1 SDK which includes support for several new screen sizes. One of the new standards is WQVGA (Widescreen quarter VGA) which has a 240×400 low density screen. With its small screen, the LaJolla could be one of these $150-250 devices that Motorola has been alluding to. Current Android phones from Motorola are priced at $399 (CLIQ) and $559 (Droid).
