Only a few days after its international launch, the Motorola Droid (Milestone in Europe) has won its first “award”: the first place on The Times’s Top 10 Everything of 2009.

The explanation given by The Times to justify the choice is very clear: Android pleases everyone, but a good OS for a smartphone isn’t satisfying if not supported by a more than decent smartphone. In this case, it seems the Droid is the right one.

The first Motorola Android device seems to be going the right way, then, and we hope that the next projects will be as well: Sholes, Opus One and LaJolla.

It seems that the Motorola Sholes is indeed more than a rumor: in the past few days, some leaked images from the device has been seen around the web, coming from China. The first images only showed some details from Sholes, but these show the device’s interface and some details from it

The device will feature an 8 Megapixel photocamera with autofocus and Xenon flash, an HDMI port, a 3.5mm jack, a 3.7″ touchscreen display with the resolution of 480 x 854 pixels, radio FM, HSUPA connection, Wi-Fi 802.11b/g with DLNA and a 550MHz OMAP TI 3430 CPU, just like the Motorola Droid.

The Motorola Sholes seems to feature Android 2.1 Flan, and it should be launched during 2010.
