A droid

There is still a out of talk about Motorola and how it survived by adopting Android. Instead of surviving it rather is a strategy that killed it.

Motorola was an early adopter and it started pushing out Android powered handsets earlier than its competitors. That was because there was no choice. Others had pushed Moto out of the race. Android gives a temporary relief, but now Samsung has enters the smartphone race in full steam. It means the early adopter advantage Moto once had is no more. The competition is once again about cost and product quality. And that its the race Moto once lost.

Yes, I am still horrified and interested to see what kind of quarter Moto has next. Is this the ugly one or will Moto be in the business for 3 months more. And who will buy the handset unit when its gone?
