The Moto Maker helped Motorola remake a name for itself in the smartphone world with individually customized devices and now it may be hoping to do the same for tablets.
During an interview with Pocket-lint, Motorola CEO Dennis Woodside let slip that tablets are still very much in consideration by Motorola and the company hopes to offer customization as something other competing products don't.
"We are looking at tablets," Woodside told Pocket-lint. "A lot of people have asked us to build a tablet using Moto Maker, to customize their tablet. There might be a day we do that, but the bigger opportunity for us is the five billion people without smartphones."
The key take away here is that Motorola is hearing the demand and looking into developing a tablet version of the Moto Maker. But it isn't quite ready to let users slap on a wood siding to the next 10.1-inch Xoom 3 tablet or whatever comes next.
Jokingly, Woodside added, "... You need to focus. Or we could go next door and start building refrigerators too."
What can you Moto make
Thus far, the Google owned company's Moto Maker has allowed its customers to customize elements on the Moto X down to the accented color of the side buttons. In a similar personalization oriented product, Motorola introduced the Moto G with a variety of colorful back covers to choose from.
After releasing its last set of tablets, the Xoom 2 and XYBoard 10.1, more than two years ago, Motorola fell out of the tablet space. If Motorola ever gets back into the tablet world it seems likely that it will also come with some form of customization - at least on high-end devices.
