Motorola plans to introduce new product line; has big hopes for Moto X

Dennis Woodside, CEO of Google's Motorola Mobility subsidiary, said during an interview at the All Things D conference that his company has plans underway to unveil a new product line in the coming months; and also said that he was hopeful of the success of Motorola's new flagship handset, the Moto X.

Woodside's disclosure of forthcoming new product line for Motorola, and his big hopes for Moto X, comes at a time when Motorola is trying to make a comeback of sorts after its acquisition by Google in 2012. Even though there were talks of "the new Motorola" when the company unveiled three Droid Razr handsets in September last year, it is still far from witnessing the stupendous success it once enjoyed.

About Motorola's new Moto X smartphone, Woodside said that the handset would rely heavily on sensors. To elaborate on the mentioned functionality, Woodside said: "The new phone will know when you take it out of your pocket, for example. It anticipates my needs."

Meanwhile, with Motorola having only a 1.9 percent share of the worldwide mobile handset market, as per Gartner's figures, Woodside said that he was "pretty confident" that the company's new batch of handsets will "move the needle."

With regard to the new product line planned by Motorola, Woodside said that the products which the company intends shipping throughout the fall will be "unlike other things out there."
