Motorola cuts another 74 jobs in mobile division
Share:
The headaches are still continuing with the once venerable handset manufacturer announcing an additional 74 lay offs. Motorola has been to the pinnacle and reaped the rewards of being considered a juggernaut during its heyday. With increasing competition from other mobile manufacturers, Motorola is struggling to keep up in this volatile economy. Workers from its Libertyville, Illinois office will be let go towards the end of the month. It's unfortunate, but the cuts come in light after laying off 3,000 people in the mobile group earlier in the year – with 500 of them from the Libertyville office. Motorola CEO, Sanjay Jha, informed the industry that they would focus their attention on the Windows Mobile and Android platform for future devices. So far we've seen them become more aggressive in acquiring Android developers. Maybe the sleeping giant may have something in the works to really get itself out of its funk?

motorola needs to rethink its processing architecture and get back to why MACs were awesome to buy before Intel stepped in. if you have a simple yet smooth processor, you should be able to sell phone again.

If you miss the Q, check out the HTC Ozone!. Very familiar feel, operates the same way. I got my hands on one yesterday, and it took me back to my Q black immediately.
