The Iron Man you’re thinking of is a kind of android – a booze-guzzling, womanizing, energy-blasting, millionnaire android, but Motorola apparently has their own idea of what an Android-flavored Ironman should be like. First off, it should be a phone running Google’s operating system; second, it should have a full slide-out QWERTY keypad; third, it should come out some time at the end of Q3. The lack of front-facing soft keys (that middle one is likely touch sensitive) is a little bizarre, and the screen is showing what looks like Windows Mobile. It’s entirely possible that it was originally going to be running WinMo, then got shuffled over to the Android side when Motorola switched gears. The Calgary seems like a much more credible leak than this one, but hey, considering Motorola’s focusing their efforts on Android lately, it’s likely they’ve got a bunch of handsets in the works. Stash this one in the rumor pile until we see a few more pics.
