Motorola in Pain - Dell to Rescue?

Believing that they are in a hits business is exactly what brough Motorola down. This was/is wrong analogy. What they need is a continuous strong line of products for several different segments. That means that the business is a platform business, where you develop platforms allowing flexible products lines. Dell has a lot in their hands just managing their core business. The last thing their management needs right now is to have another problem child to look after.

I guess it makes an article more sexy if you manage to squeeze iPhone into it, but iPhone is the least of problems of Motorola. LG and Samsung are the ones that are eating Motorolas market share by the quarter. Their product development runs circles around Motorolas depressed efforts. That part of Motorola they don't need. And why on earth would they spend 10-20 billions to buy market share when it is dropping into their hands anyway?
