Where is Skydeck coming into the equation here. I didn’t mention them in the story, so please provide context. It seems you don’t care much for Skydeck, which is fair opinion for you.

The social networking and mobile phones is a trend that is seriously overblown. it is total spin. i am looking at my facebook on iPhone and that is the right kind of social networking app. I don't need apple to do it for me: facebook did a good enough job. Similarly i can get their app on BBerry and Android and it would be cool.</p> <p>Best</p> @ Svetlana Gladkova I couldn’t agree more.

Well it is interesting you say that and yes the Motorola brand is pretty tarnished. People just don’t expect them to do anything major or anything ground breaking … or so the perception is. I like the company’s ability to engineer good phones, but not their software abilities.

Motorola should kill a lot of the os’s on the phones they have. All of them seem to compete on which sucks more.

There was a good reason to have your own os for strategic purposes. Now the rules of the game have changed and the handset business is in trouble. Nix your own os and instead add features to a os like android …
