Motorola working on own web-based OS that may replace Android

Motorola is working on its own web-based operating system and this may eventually wind up replacing Android on its future handsets, according to a report.

The report says Motorola has been hiring engineers from top companies like Apple to work on this web-based OS. Motorola is not denying the project but its quick to remind us that Android is its go-to platform right now "Motorola Mobility is committed to Android as an operating system" the company said in an e-mailed statement to InformationWeek.

Of course, the report could be getting it very wrong in terms of this being used to replace Android down the road, as the web-based OS could just be for devices like the Laptop Dock. The idea of these types of accessories is to allow powerful phones like the Atrix 4G to power the large screen and keyboard but the Laptop Dock does have its own software to interact with the Android device.
