Moto Backing Away From Windows Mobile

,----[ Quote ]
| Earlier this month reports emerged that Motorola would cut as much as 50 
| percent of its handset division, as it slashes down the number of phones it 
| sells to a dozen and focus solely on Google’s Android Operating System. The 
| decision, made us wonder if Microsoft’s Windows Mobile OS might be a big 
| loser because of that focus on Android. The Wall Street Journal today reports 
| that Motorola indeed might be saying sayonara to Windows.

| Plantation, Florida – with 77 jobs for the chop as a result, added on to the
| 4,000 jobs the company has already 'restructured' this month.
