MOTOROLA might GO DARK!!! - Motorola Atrix HD

The Motorola website will be down for at least a month. Reason? Moto feels that they need to take a step back and reframe their company, brand,and devices.
There are is are date that haven't been confirmed on the site but if thus is true, then this is a big step for Motorola.

Actually maybe it is. Their libertyville complex is up for sale online and they plan on relocating their headquarters so they might have to go dark for a while..

maybe one month of disappear will make a better moto.
nokia ang moto accompanied me many years, do not want to see them close down.......
hala nokia and moto!

In a perfect world they're having a 3 month, radio silent lock-in with the entire Android team at Google, and then they'll unveil a new line of native Moto Nexus devices, complete with factory unlocked BLs & open-source kernels pushed directly to CM, PA & AOKP. They'll make S4's look like StarTACs.
Maybe I'm setting my hopes too high. :]

They are moving to the Merchandise Mart next year. Thank god. I may still be working at Motorola if I didn't have to commute to Libertyville everyday.

I don't think it would be a bad area to live, but it wasn't what I wanted to do as a 20-something. The move to Chicago should be great for Motorola to attract better talent right out of college. Why would a top engineer choose Libertyville over the Bay Area or NYC? The only real reason is that it is a lower cost of living. I believe that is one of the biggest reasons for Motorola's recent troubles. They had a hard time attracting the right people.
They even saw this themselves. Back in 2004 (I think?), they opened MotoCityUSA downtown to try and attract better designers to try and make cool products to follow up the RAZR.

iPhone or Android clone

So many think that Google copied things from Apple to create the Android platform. Well iPhone users can be happy that it happens all the time.
Apple copies a bunch of features from Android, calls it iOS5
Just goes to show you that there are no new ideas, the best ones are stolen from your competitors!

Idea Sharing
They're all constantly grabbing content from each other, so this really isn't anything new. Every month we get another lawsuit opened that any one of the bigger manufacturers stole some idea from another group.

Let people know about this. This is normal there is no need for sueing. Everybody get their ideas from somewhere to start with. They get creative and build something better. At the end of the day we will see a fast growing tech development for the betterment of all people.

I'm enjoying Jelly Bean, since its pretty new and 99% of Android users don't run it yet. Why are we talking about a new version already?
Sent from your mom.
I think Google may develop a Voice Assistant like Siri built into Google Now. And am not a fan of voice assistants but it seems to be hot around. They may also do something for battery life.
Some of mine friends got iphone 4s and they have used siri for first two weeks, after that nobody was using it...just hype for nothing. Here ppl are looking at you like u were an idiot when you speak with ypur phone in public haha

Google has to get a standardized AirPlay equivalent across all their devices, that is TOP on my list. And I would like to see continued development and integration of Google Now.

Hasn't Android supported multiple cores since GB? Pretty sure because I remember all the talk about it. I had the Atrix and it was one of the first dual cores.

I talk to my phone all the time, it's much easier. I use to only when searching for things but now that I have Google Now I use it much more. Most of the time if I am around somebody they ask me what kind of phone I have. I mean I wouldn't use it at a funeral and I don't go to church or Walmart and usually never the mall, I try to avoid mass social situations unless there is a DJ/producer I want to hear.

THIS THIS THIS! A battery is not a feature of the OS, and while making the OS more battery efficient is always good.. I want to see some advancement in the state of batteries, the phone has improved so much in the past few years it's crazy, the battery needs to catch up. I'm talking at least 3 day+ battery no matter the use in all devices.

It's beyond a joke the moaning..

Try buying an iPad mini 16gig, a vtech discovery tree and a million other things, they go out of stock, glass things chip and crack and break, software never works perfect all the time, companies make promises they can't keep, but for the love of christ I have never seen such moaning about every little thing in my life, if you don't like it get a refund, cancel your order or shut up about it.

"The only winner is Windows" That was the conclusion of the article, because appearantly M$ has enough patents and licences to cover all makers of Windows Phone - Capacitive screens or not! So Sammy and LG "could" produce Windows Phones and pay MS their cut and call it a day
The reason why we'll never see the end of Android (well at least in the next 10-20 years) is that the market share is so paramount. Such an event would have so many economical consequences that the governments would step in before anything would happen.

It'll also be held up in appeals for years. Not only that, but I'm pretty sure this would only cover OEM keyboards that come pre-installed. I really doubt that it would affect third-party apps like SwiftKey. Worst case scenario, there will end up being some kind of technical workaround that approximates current usage but skirts the patent. There's no real reason to worry about this.

I have yet to see a single legitimate source try to forecast doom and gloom for Android as a result of this development. Let's not collectively freak out over some blog post on a meaningless website.
Sorry but this conversation belongs in the Off Topic thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2434020

Well, AD, my purpose here is two-fold. First, I need to make some money to support myself while I get my company off the ground. Second, I need practice answering the "no" and finding the right solution for the customer. This job matches my needs almost perfectly, even if it is 25 hours a week. Plus, since it's a German company, I get health insurance! Yay!
