Motorola may just leave the mobile phone business

Analysts say that Motorola may be destined to leave the mobile phone market. The last living would be an acquisition of a Chinese company (ie how moved to Lenovo IBM) to help fix things. Thing is, the Chinese have no idea what to do to fix Motorola, as reported by Richard Windsor of Nomura. Sad. Instead, Motorola will concentrate its efforts on other infrastructure projects, which is really his arm stronger.

I recall attending a press conference of Motorola, as they outlined their plans for government and private sector infrastructure development. These products include networking, solutions and WiMAX mesh radio system for calamities. These products seemed way too far and stable compared with what they were doing with their mobile phone division. I mean, what sold the RAZR is not the user interface - is the form factor that really did not follow with the passage of time through. New models consisted of new colors… and that was it.
