Motorola phasing out feature phone market.

Motorola phasing out feature phone market.

Motorola Mobility reportedly plans to phase out from the feature phone market and may suspend its feature phone business by the end of 2012, according to a Chinese-language Commercial Times report.

It remains to be seen whether Motorola will also withdraw from the CNY1,000 (US$157) smartphone segment in China, since Google reportedly has been hoping that the handset vendor will switch its focus to the development of innovative products instead of counting on production based on economics of scale, the paper said.

Taiwan-based handset ODM Arima Communications, currently the primary production partner of feature phones and entry-level smartphones for Motorola, would be affected significantly by the vendor's next move.

A hope for all Palm fans. 

According to most of the Palm webOS users ,a new hardware design is what the Palm Pre 2 is needing. A new look. Other smartphones brands are showing bigger screens displays and virtual keyboards everywhere, loaded with dual core or upcoming 2Ghz processors and more storage than 16GB.

Palm webOS 2.0 is the greatest smartphone OS to come out there , but deserves a better hardware companion.

My best wishes to Larry and to HP/Palm.

Motorola's Olympus MB860 gets certified for Bluetooth, UPnP and dual-band WiFi

What is the Motorola MB860? 


It's hard to say for sure, but it could be one of the infamous Tegra 2 tablets that Motorola's been allegedly working on. Ameblo recently discovered that the MB860 had been certified for Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR and dual-band 802.11 a/b/g/n WiFi, and then noticed that the UPnP Forum had attached a curious codename -- Olympus -- to the device.


 This is where things get fairly fuzzy, but Android and Me recently reported that the Olympus was one of two Motorola tablets in testing -- though it may not be the Stingray, as that supposed 10-inch device has an alphanumeric designation of its own: MZ600. For those of you inspired to go sluthing on your own, we've got a couple final notes. First, the Bluetooth SIG has already changed its MB860 filing to read BT0001, according to Google's cache. Second, though the WiFi interoperability certificate above reads "smartphone," that's notnecessarily true -- according to the Wi-Fi Alliance, Samsung's Galaxy Tab is a "phone" as well.
