With a number of different operating systems surfacing in the market it's no wonder that long time electronics maker Motorola is jumping on the band wagon. They've recently hired a number of developers from Apple, Adobe, among other noteworthy companies with plans to develop its own operating system.

The question is: CAN IT COMPETE!?!

When discussed with Motorola representatives, they have no intention of abandoning their current operating system provider -- Google's Android. They simply plan on adding their own. Think they'll be able to pull off such a scheme?

Motorola recognizes, investigates Atrix 4G voice quality issues -- Engadget

Motorola recognizes, investigates Atrix 4G voice quality issues -- Engadget

UH OH. For all of the Atrix 4G users out there, this is not the best news in the world. If you're experiencing some voice quality issues with your device then join the club. This issue has been reported enough to the point AT&T is making a note of it. I'm having a bit of Deja Vu looking back at the iphone 4 release and antenna issues. AT&T may have just jumped in market share but they certainly haven't rid themselves of all the technical issues in their devices. If you would like to see what others are saying or how they're treating the issue head over to Motorola's support page (https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/45510?start=0&tstart=0) and keep up to date on any progress being made. Until then, I hope the Atrix has some killer SMS/email abilities. Enjoi

Should Big Red grab Sprint?! What do you think??

PPCGeeks.com » [DISCUSSION] Should Verizon buy Sprint? What do you think?

With the recent purchase AT&T made in buying T-Mobile, there's been some speculation of other Wireless broadband consolidation. Should Verizon Wireless take over Sprint?!? Verizon currently controls 31.3% of the cellular market while Sprint holds 16.1%. Together the two would be an nice 47.4% (for all you calculus fans). AT&T controlled 26.6% of the market before its acquisition of T-Mobile with 12.2% share putting it at comfy top spot with 38.8% market share. Verizon, as a result of AT&T's acquisition, is no longer the top dog in the Wireless provider game and some changes might need to be made in order to regain top market share. While consolidation means less competition among the big guys there's still some advantages of the idea. Spring is hardly using a large portion of their "wireless spectrum" and Verizon could help utilize such potential. Anyway check out the comments over at PPCGeeks to see what others think and leave a note yourself. Enjoi

Iphone + Android = Wonderful

If you're one of the recent VZW iphone users who has anticipated the iphone 4's arrival for a couple of years now, you may have a bit of buyer's remorse with the upcoming and quick moving Android phone lineup on the market. It's not secret that Google is growing from the Droid and Eris a year ago to the powerhouse of an operating system it is today. With an app market that is surpassing the Apple market soon, Android is to many users, the premier operating system. This puts a bit of a kink in the plan for those who have waited to get the iphone on their Verizon service. The iphone undoubtedly has the best touchscreen in the business with its glass 3.5 inch multitouch display featuring an 800:1 contrast ratio and 500cd/m2 max brightness. Now that Apple has nearly made their device bulletproof the glass will hopefully not break.

In better news, for all you with that buyer's remorse, the beloved device now runs the beloved operating system. Adroid has successfully been ported to the new iphone 4! You can run both Android and iOS on the same device giving you the best of both worlds. No need to put the iphone in a blender or pawn it off on ebay now.
