What about the proliferation of operating systems on board mobile Motorola (UIQ, JAVA / Linux, Windows Mobile)? “A single platform for all our phones would obviously be ideal. But this is not possible. There is no single system sufficiently flexible, able to meet the needs of our range of phones, from a combined $ 50 until smartphone. ”

Should we add to a Motorola mobile App Store “in Apple’s image or, to a lesser extent mobile S60? “The downloading applications on a phone is not new.
