Mobile phone giant Motorola hopes to expand its product line beyond cell phones and the company is looking at launching its tablet computer early next year.
"We want to make sure that any tablet that we deliver is competitive in the marketplace, and I think all of us will make sure that we will only deliver (computer) that when that occurs".
"Hopefully, that's early next year. The tablet would be Motorola's answer to Apple's iPad, which has dominated the market since its launch in April this year".
Apple said in June that it has sold three million of its iPad tablets.
"Google has made clear it doesn't think the latest version of Android, called Froyo, is appropriate for tablet devices," the paper quoted Jha as saying in a conference call.
"I will only develop a tablet if it is sufficiently compelling".

Jha further said he is eager to get into the tablet business, but indicated that he is thinking about new forms of mobile computing.
He is also interested in models that are "even more smartphone-centric. Other phone makers have also been lining up their tablet computers to take on the iPad."
Samsung Electronics unveiled its seven-inch Galaxy Tab in the US market today, while Dell too launched a five-inch tablet.
