i don't know if they will be the last left on the market.

i believe moto is working on a greate phone. and i wish them good luck. motorola startec was my very first cell phone. i loved it.

but this google/moto-move i don't like. google is rich enough to keep this people. what was their slogan again? don't do bad things! or something like that... well, this is pretty bad!

          Denzo, 08 Mar 2013Apple main profits are form their mobile phones.Yes it is, but it's not their sole source of profit. And iphone has not yet experienced too much drop on thEire phone business. So the argument still don't apply to them.

            AnonD-77793, 08 Mar 2013It's a company - not a public service. They are responsible... moreI know modern economics places a great deal of responsibility on shareholder profits, and not the long term employment of its employees... but without people who are employed.. no one needs to buy anything.. so If all companies start thinking of the shareholders.. and cut out parts that don't work instead of fixing them.. you are going to run very lean, and the capitalistic structure will be very tall, and unhealthy.

                    It seems like we're not going to be looking at the X phone coming out anymore.

                      Apple existence is still based on mobile tech. whether i'd be iphone, ipad, mac etc. and the iphone brings in im sure about 75% of apple revenue. but it is still in a better position than Motorola, nokia and htc.

                      Sorry to see these companies going down like this

                          What Sony, samsung, apple, LG have in common? Those company is not so much dependent on mobile phone as the sole source of income. HTC, nokia, motorola don't have alternative source of income, when they flop recovery is very difficult. TAker for example Sony and LG , they have small success in the past but they manage to come back coz they still have other source of income.

                            It's a company - not a public service. They are responsible to their shareholders.

                            Besides, if you look around the internet, you'll find that google employees have some of the best benefits.

                            Talking specifically about the families of company employees, take a look at this
