Motorola HMC3260 is a desktop with 18.5-inch LED touchscreen display. It is Motorola Mobility’s first Android-powered home broadband device, and is dubbed as Cloud Broadband by Wasu.

“The Motorola HMC3260 not only provides subscribers with a fast broadband connection, it also enables them to enjoy a range of cloud-based services provided by Wasu, including games, high-definition television and movies, web browsing and more,” said Kevin Keefe, vice president & regional general manager, Motorola‘s Home Division, Asia. “The powerful touchscreen interface capitalizes on the power and flexibility of Android to enable Wasu to differentiate itself from operators who only offer a pipeline for data. It is an important step toward our vision of a smart, simple, connected home.”…

The Cloud Broadband device enables Wasu’s customers to access to a host of cloud entertainment services such as an on-demand high-definition media, games, applications and storage space.

Qiao Xiaoyan, vice president, Wasu Digital Group, said: “Broadband is at the core of WASU’s growth strategy. The Cloud Broadband device enables subscribers to easily access and search the vast amount of video, music, and gaming content that WASU aggregates and manages for them in addition to regular cable television services. Motorola Mobility’s Android-powered device creates an entertainment hub in the home, allowing our customers to manage their home entertainment via one attractive, simple-to-use interface.”
