Motorola can be summed up in one sentence: Amazing designers, horrible software developers. After loosing the number 2 spot in market share to Samsung they had a serious look at their product line and came to realization that they are not innovating. How is cutting R&D funding going to help them solve that problem? It probably will not, but it will give them a profitable quarter; something they’ve failed to deliver in 2007.
Will the emphasis on the in house Linux + Java operating system kick Samsung out of the number 2 spot? Or should they just stick to using tried and trusted (S60, Windows Mobile, UIQ) operating systems and become a hardware vendor?
