The first Motorola Android phones to include NetQin Mobile Security are expected to ship in early 2012. Motorola customers will receive 60 days of free access to NetQin Mobile Security Premium features, which help protect against malware, spyware, hackers, and other mobile threats.

“With mobile threats expected to reach an all-time high in 2012, this agreement comes at the right time to give smartphone users the security they need for their mobile devices, as well as all the personal and financial data on them,” said Dr. Henry Yu Lin, chairman and CEO of NetQin. “We are very pleased to partner with Motorola Mobility to bring our powerful security to their Android customers. This is another step towards ensuring that users around the world can enjoy their mobile life in a safe and secure environment.”

In August, Google announced that it would acquire Motorola Mobility Holdings, Inc. for approximately $12.5 billion in cash.
