Chicago Tribune has confirmed the rumours that have been flying about Motorola and its focus on Android going forward. Moto has trimmed staffs by 4000 and most hit area is mobile development with around 3000 people being laid off from that division.
This essentially means that Moto’s smart phones will be powered with Android, through which company is hoping to give boost to its positioning in smartphone market.
Though laying off people is always a bad news, but for Android developers and enthusiast there is some thing to look forward to in this. We should see similar moves by other biggies in the field given the current economic situation. Working on open source technologies will catch momentum in mobile markets too.
