i-Hype-Phone iNails iLid on Motorola iCoffin
The iPhone is a first generation prototype piece of junk. It lacks fundamental phone capabilities and delivers a nice user interface that is incomplete at best. That won't stop the iPhone from nailing Motorola.
Motorola announced a $101M 2Q charge for cuts relating to layoffs. Motorola has consistently proven itself to be incapable of making the right choices. They have been unable to choose the right products, the right prices, the right partnerships, and possibly even the right CEO.
Motorola probably made their worst choice when they partnered with Apple on the iRokr, Apple's first junkie mobile phone MP3 player. Motorola was too ignorant to avoid dealing with Apple back then and they have paid for it dearly for the last 12 months as Apple has raced to hype and raced to market with the iPhone.
Apple has successfully sold the hype and Motorola is taking a 2Q charge.
Cell phones and the cell phone industry will not benefit from a dead Motorola nor will they benefit from an Apple i-Hype-Phone.
