Motorola may have a lot of irons in the fire, but a new tablet isn’t one of them.

That was one of several revelations from company president COO Osterloh, who hosted a Twitter chat with the hashtag #AskO

In response to a question about any Moto tablet plans, Osterloh said there are not any plans, recommended models from novo, such as the Yoga line.


There was plenty of good news for Moto fans, however. He confirmed the first-gen Moto X will be getting llipop, with testing in the early stages. He also says to expect a Moto G E model coming this year. Motorola just churned out a rather respectable budget phone in the the Moto E.

Osterloh also says Motorola is going to keep making re ition devices, which are off-contract free of any carrier customization.

He also reaffirmed the company’s commitment to letting you customize devices with Moto Maker. It recently rolled out Moto Maker options for the Moto 360.

y this matters: Motorola is regarded highly by many of the Android faithful because the company keeps its software close to stock Android churns out timely updates. ile a Moto tablet would be interesting, we would prefer a better camera in its flagship Moto X, as it was the only drawback to an otherwise excellent phone.
