Motorola plans to expand software development possibilities for its newly announced Motoblur software, which puts social networking capabilities on the company's Cliq mobile phone. But the company expects that subsequent devices will be offered with more of a business application bent, a high-ranking Motorola executive said Thursday.

Motorola plans to open up APIs for Motoblur, said Sanjay Jha, Motorola's co-CEO and CEO for mobile devices, in an interview after a presentation at the GigaOM Mobilize conference in San Francisco.

"Over a period of time -- we're not there yet -- we'll allow the APIs to be available so people can develop many more applications than we can think of ourselves but it'll take us a little bit of time to mature ourselves to a place that we could open up APIs," Jha said.
