Interview with Motorola CEO: fought in self-salvation smart phones continue to bet on Google

May 10 evening news, Motorola co-CEO and mobile devices division CEO Sanjay @ Jia Acer Travelmate 290 Battery said in an interview today, Motorola is from a functional mobile phone as the center shifted to make smart phones mainly present in domestic 7 introduced smart phones, also called for the Apple iPhone, “a single global product is completely inadequate.”

Sanjay @ Jia (Sanjay Jha), vice president with Motorola Mobile Devices Business Unit, vice president of software and products Christie @ Wyatt (Christy Wyatt), newly appointed senior vice president of Motorola Mobile Devices Business Unit President, Greater China Meng Today, science and technology in Beijing accepted an exclusive interview with Sina.

Smart phone is undoubtedly the central topic of this interview. Sanjay @ Jia said, “We promote smart phone made remarkable achievements, progress rapidly, and now has become the third largest smart phone provider, has launched in China, 7 smart phone, Europe, Latin America is also will be launched. “

According to market research firm IDC latest statistics, in the first quarter, Motorola’s share of global smartphone market from 3.4% to 4.2%, ranking fifth, the top side of Nokia, RIM (Blackberry), Apple and macro Delta Electronics (HTC), the market share of 39.3%, respectively, 19.4%, 16.1% and 4.8%.

Motorola – the mobile phone market has been the king, once market share decline, now being a tough self-salvation, which no doubt will come from the opportunity to have huge market potential for smart phones.

To continue betting on Google Android platform

In the field of smart phones, Motorola on Google’s Android platform high hopes, launched in the domestic i.e. platform based on the MT710, MT720, XT701, Milestone XT702, XT800, ME501, ME600 backflips and other products. These phones also have brought a good market response.

However, the recent news that Motorola introduced its own brand on Google phone quite dissatisfied with the acquisition of smart phone system developers in India Azingo, thus get rid of dependence on Google. Motorola side interview today that the message is not acknowledged.

“We respect the choice of Google, no matter what their actions, our own smart phones using the Android development achieved great success in the future will still be committed to the development of Android platform smart phone.” Christie said on Sina science and technology, ” We’ve been looking for their own talents and teams, but we have not announced any news of the acquisition Azingo. “

Christie’s statement still leaves a lot of speculation that the industry space, after Dell Inspiron 6000 Battery all, have their own mobile phone operating system has become a trend, even Samsung has developed the Bada system. Sanjay @ Jia had also said that with its own operating system on a cell phone makers is a very important thing.

A single product is completely inadequate

Filed smart phones, many people do not consciously think of Apple’s iPhone, touch screen and its application store (App Stores). Motorola in the mobile phone appearance, location and platforms have their own different concepts.

“We are now introduced in the market, a lot of products, but also a broad portfolio of products. If only one is a global product can not meet the multiple needs of our customers.” Sanjay @ Jia, while not directly stated, but it is easy to guessed, this is against Apple’s iPhone.

Although Apple’s iPhone has been updated since the launch of several generations of products, but regardless of their appearance or application mode, are almost the same. Motorola’s smart phones are not just straight sideslip, or even a “back flip” design.

Motorola would also like to break the localization of high-end smart phone market, only the “Law.” , “We have worked hard to make Android platform can be applied to the low-end user requirements and make mobile phones more and more intelligent through the Android platform in North America has two / three phones can use the Android platform has.” Christie said .

“If the world’s several billion users store only one type of application, this is unrealistic. Therefore, we believe that different forms should be providing services to consumers, so as to form a diverse ecosystem.” Christie also said.

Motorola’s so-called “different forms” is its introduction last September’s MOTO BLUR HP Pavilion ZV5000 Battery platform. “The platform is not to create a variety of applications, but to enhance the Internet experience.” It is understood, BLUR most prominent feature is the emphasis on social networking (SNS) function. BLUR has now integrated a number of components, including Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, MySpace, Yahoo, Picasa, etc., as long as the user Email account with SNS binding information from the SNS will be automatically pushed to your phone which, it is learned Net domestic happy, QQ, etc. have also been integrated come. Motorola hopes BLUR service enables mobile phone into a social network instead of PC terminal, “more and more like photos, music, enterprise applications, will apply to this platform.”

The most difficult period is over

“You could say now Motorola has come out of the most difficult period.” Sanjay @ Jia said, “In the past some time, we adjusted operating expenses, the reduced operating expenses as much as 1.9 billion U.S. dollars, this is a very big change. In addition, mobile phone business, we have the past, the main feature phones, smart phones switched to mainly while also providing hardware-based company turned to the systematic integration of hardware and software companies, the company converted to the Internet Application of expression-based company. “

Sanjay @ Jia’s lung power from the profitable results of operations. Motorola has just announced the 2010 first-quarter results, net profit of 69 million U.S. dollars, and finally into the black.

China is also an important part of Motorola’s self-salvation. It is reported that the U.S. is Motorola’s largest market, while China is the second largest market. Sanjay @ Jia said, “According to our forecasts, China’s mobile phone shipments in the 15% of smart phones, and the U.S. the proportion of smart phones reached 40% ~ 50%. China will have more and more people through the use of smart phone to access the Internet. For the future development of the smart phone market, we are very optimistic and encouraging. “

For the Chinese market, Sanjay @ Jia said that the launch of the MOTO BLUR platform and a variety of service, “and China is now more local companies, such as China Mobile and China, some of the website. We consider it necessary be very localized products, and to provide experience with their Sony VGP-BPL2 Battery local content and services are closely related. “

The Fruits of Telecommunication and Smart Phone Labour: Blackberry vs IPhone

For those of us who can’t leave the office behind, the new range of smart phones for business are making it increasingly easy to be a workaholic. For telecommunications the two models are fairly evenly matched, you can make and receive calls but with these multimedia devices you’ll want to be doing a lot more than that. Both are capable of email, web browsing and of course text messaging. However the Blackberry’s original support of push email gets one up on the iPhone, which doesn’t employ an LED to notify the user he or she has a new message and requires that the owner actively check themselves. This is obviously time consuming and translates into wasted battery life.

The iPhone is probably more fashionable than its competitor but in a corporate sense which is the superior piece of kit? The touch screen capabilities of Apples multimedia phone does indeed make it a joy to use but it has been agued that Blackberry’s physical keyboard is more user friendly regarding typing text messages and email, compared to the iPhone’s virtual on screen keyboard.

It has been regularly reported that the Internet loading time on the Blackberry can be slow and frustrating but once it’s connected to a wireless network online navigation is pretty smooth. Due to the touch screen interface of the iPhone browsing the internet is a more enjoyable and profitable experience. Dragging your finger down the screen to scroll through a page is more intuitive than the buttons on the Blackberry, as is the pinch and reverse pinch motion to zoom in and out. For these reasons extracting information from web pages is often easier on the iPhone. With the new Blackberry Bold which boasts a 624MHz processor you can now download email attachments faster than before which is a significant improvement. But in early July Apple’s reaction to this was to announce the iPhone on the 3G network advancing the smart phone’s connectivity and it also includes satellite navigation. Similarly the Blackberry Bold incorporates GPS as standard.

With the iPhone you obviously get 8G or 16G (depending on which model you choose) worth of memory on which to download music from iTunes, but that’s not going to help you get those reports done by Monday morning. It is going to lighten the load in your pockets though as you won’t need to carry your iPod around with you as well. Since Steve Jobs has released the SDK (iPhone software developer kit) and Microsoft Exchange support for the iPhone he has covered two major areas that required development and therefore as a corporate utility the iPhone is vastly improved.

At the end of the fruit salad Mac users are a loyal folk and will probably continue to invest in the Apple family. Equally, those that are now familiar with the Blackberry will most likely stick by Research In Motion. It is very much down to personal preference and the specific requirements of the user and so when all’s said and done, the choice is yours.

Photography And The Cell Phone

Nearly every modern cell phone has a camera feature. Though they are far away from modern age digital camera, cell phone cameras can still be used to produce good quality photographs.

The cell phone has some additional features that are not yet available on digital cameras and so may even be able to provide some advantages. The best way to obtain quality photographs is to understand the specifications that are available on these devices, enabling you to make an informed decision when choosing your mobile product, ensuring that it meets your requirements.

The size of the cell phone screen will affect the quality of viewing on your phone only. It will not affect the quality of your photograph when downloaded to your computer. However, the pixels that your cell phone camera uses will affect the quality of the image a great deal. The minimum resolution you should use is 1.0 mega pixels if photographic images are an important feature for you.

Higher resolution of 3.0 mega pixels and up is available on current cell phones. The higher the number of pixels, the better quality the photographic image will be when reproduced. This is because the pixels are the amount of dots used to create the image; the more that are used, the less the image will break up when enlarged.

The memory size of your device will directly affect the number of photographs that you can store. This will affect your output, and also give you less scope for getting that perfect shot. Your device will detail how much memory it contains, and this amount is usually very low, to store only a few photographic images.

However, the memory capacity can be supplemented by purchasing a memory card that is compatible with your cell phone. The largest currently available is as much as 2 Gigabytes, which can store large numbers of photographs. The exact number will vary as the number of pixels directly affects the amount of memory used. The settings of your picture image can often be changed also. The picture quality is better the higher the resolution you choose. Lower resolutions take up less memory and so can be useful if you just want to send images to friends and family, if are running low on space or if the quality is not of importance.

It is also important that you can store your pictures. If you purchase a cell phone memory card, make sure that it also be compatible with your computer or that it can be hooked up to a USB that is computer compatible. Your device should also come with a USB that you can use to download your pictures. This enables you to clear your cell phone regularly, maximising the use of the camera feature. Once stored, your photographs can be manipulated using programs such as Photoshop, as with any other photographic image.

A major advantage of a camera is that it can be used to send pictures direct to friends and family with a compatible cell phone. These can be sent via multi media messages, which although relatively expensive are now appearing in cell phone contracts as part of a package.

Digital photos can also be sent via email if the cell phone is internet enabled. Any photographic image can be sent for free via infra red or Bluetooth to another compatible device. This is an excellent way of sharing images, without the need for downloading first, which is both fast and functional. This means cell phones do have an advantage over other photographic devices to a degree, as they do not yet have this feature.

Part II – What Do You Most Look for When Selecting a Business Cell Phone (e.g. Smart Phone, Pda)?

I asked this question of a large business networking community recently….. “What features/factors do you consider most important when choosing a business cell phone….and why?”

Here’s more of their answers for your education and enjoyment:

* “It’s going to sound dull, but…business benefit and value for money.

Assuming you’ve got a corporate tarriff sorted, then I’d be looking for ….

* economy

* connectivity – e.g. quad band so we can standardise on a couple of
handsets globally

* functionality – e.g. sync to work PC for Outlook etc.

* decent vendor support.

Pretty low down on the list are things like eye candy and mp3 playback – no iPhone for us unfortunately!”

* “When it comes to a “business cell phone” a lot depends upon what you will use it for, where you will use it and how often you will use it.

If you just need email access and your HQ is in North America then RIM is still King….even when roaming abroad.  If you need more than simple email access then the world gets more complicated. Bottom line is to look at the TCO of any solution you choose and make a platform choice not a cell phone choice.”

* “My preference list:

- Good data connectivity. EDGE or HSDPA.

- Very good EMail client.

- Good PC-Sync capability.

- Able to view and edit MS-OFFICE, Acrobat files

- BLUETOOTH connectivity. supporting boardroom presentations from mobile.

- QWERTY keypad is must. will be helpful if a foldable keypad with mobile cradle attached is provided. notes can be directly created using original keypad.

- Wireless connectivity and seamless switching between GSM/UMTS and WLAN.”

* “The following features are a must for my business cell phone:

- Qwerty keyboard

- Office suite/editable

- Adobe support

- Sharp organiser

- Effective email support

- VPN connectivity

- 3G enabled

I think IPhone is defintely a good bet for this category though currently I am on a Motorola PDA.”

* “Simplicity. I hate it when mobiles have so many gimmicks that making telephone call almost becomes an option.  I don’t want a camera, don’t need to text, I don’t send emails, I don’t need a colour display.  I just want a simple phone, with large buttons and a simple menu.

* “First off I look for a phone that has a good battery, excellent radio and lots of storage.

Next I look for something that works with Office, since I need to be able to synchronise with Outlook and view documents. In the messaging suite it needs to be able to effectively do email. For example, I want it to have some form of keyboard device rather than just touch.

In the past I have also looked at the ability for the device to run a number of enterprise applications such as SAP, Oracle, etc.so that I can access CRM and Financial Data Systems.

At present I have a Sony Ericsson P1i as my main handset and have replaced a Blackberry with an HTC Touch Plus as my data device. However, I also have a Sony Vaio SZ61XP which runs with embedded HSDPA so my Laptop has become my smartphone.

What I would say is that despite the effort of .dot mobi to get better ….. the most effective way to squeeze the web onto a phone has been to run the Opera browser which I do on all three devices.”

* “ok.. I’m not sure how the iPhone can qualify as a business cell phone. Like most Mac products it hinders business more than helps it.

In a phone, it must MUST be able to work with and exchange in “always up to date” / real time email. It also must be able to support email encryption and be remotely managable. Such as Blackberry, or Windows Mobile 6 devices.

Someone steals my phone, and it’s already locked, so no use to them, as soon as I call the office, bam.. now it is also erased and deactivated. Instant paperweight.

My current Favorites ….. Moto Q Global, Blackjack with the WM6 update, or Black Jack II.

I am a bit of a cell phone addict, and have owned practically every type of phone that has existed, the rest are all lacking in some way.

Cingular/ATT 3125 (aka HTC Star Trek) was actually really cool. Full Windows smartphone features, but eventually I decided that I could no longer live without a full qwerty keyboard.”

*  “I would choose the Nokia E61 for businesses. The best feature about this phone is that you do not need a SIM Card to access internet or your IPLC in the office premises if your wireless is activated. It supports an email client and that enables you to access your personal and official mail. The phone has all the features of a desktop and supports most of the files types.”

* “First and foremost, as I travel internationally quite often, I need an unlocked gsm phone so that I can easily swap SIMs, and it should be quadband (world) compatible.

Wifi and VoIP (“real” VoIP — ie SIP, not Skype –both over GPRS and Wifi) is a must.

Easy syncing with Microsoft Outlook. Full QWERTY keyboard. IMAP email client, full web browser.

The obvious choice for my needs is the Nokia E61i… absolute best phone I have ever found for the international business user that has to stay completely connected from remote locales.

Also should add that bluetooth is a must and the ability to expand (with FlashSD or whatnot) the memory to at least 2GB. Should also have full media player capability (both video and audio) for watching movies or listening to some tunes on those long-haul flights. Also needs to support ACCD2 or
whatever it’s called for stereo bluetooth audio (I love my Motorola S9 headset!)…. again, the Nokia E61 or E61i (same as E61 but with camera) wins hands down..only cell(smart) phone I’ve found that meets all of my demands.”

* “Business means that you’ll probably have to deal with many people, many calls and many tasks.

Important things are:

1. how call history works. If somebody calls you several times it is good if the phone can store EVERY call instance, not only the last one with a given person. My TREO was storing histories of all incoming and outgoing calls for months and months (i was having at least 50 calls a day). So call history must be full and long.

2. big memory for contacts – for obvious reasons. And many fields for contacts – also helps put more information about people so that when you have 3 persons with name John Smith you’ll be able to find out which one you need.

3. Fully functional keyboard. When you know somebody is on the meeting and you can not speak to him it might help sending him/her a message – it will be seen even if person is in the meeting. If you have QWERTY keyboard then composing a message will take you 70-80% less time than doing it on a
traditional mobile.

4. Phone must be reliable. The last thing you want is your phone to fail killing all your contacts when you are for a business trip out of your country. You also do not want to lose tons of calls because phone has hanged up for a couple of hours and you did not know it.

5. GPS sometimes is helpful for people who travel much. But not for every business person.

The model of the phone does not really matter, but I think that NOKIA is a reliable brand, PALM Treo is also a good thing.”

* “A phone which you can answer , find the contact, and call them without spilling the coffee on your suit.”

More real life comments on the question will be shared in Part III of this series.
