For various reasons Motorola has been swirling the bowl of late. This news might give their cell phone division the sales boost that it so desperately needs. Assuming, however, that T-Mobile USA’s just released G1 phone, manufactured by HTC,, hasn’t already eaten their lunch.
Motorola Inc.’s new cellphone chief is moving quickly to scale back the struggling division, simplifying the way it makes devices and cutting additional jobs.
Sanjay Jha, who also became Motorola’s co-chief executive in August, has decided to focus on Google Inc.’s Android operating system as the software platform for Motorola’s showcase phones, according to people familiar with the matter.
Mr. Jha is expected to detail his plans — which will likely include thousands of layoffs — as early as Thursday when the company reports earnings, these people said.
