Motorola Is Differentiating With Ruggedness

The Android phone market is pretty crowded with HTC, Samsung, Motorola, and others all competing to sell the hottest phone running Android. You might notice that most of the phones these companies are creating look very much a like. The problem the handset manufacturers have is differentiating themselves within the constraints of what the market appears to like in mobile phone design. Motorola did something different on Monday by announcing the Defy, which is a ruggedized version of an Android smartphone, on the Oprah Winfrey show.
