That’s one question everyone is asking. I hope Mr. Brown is prepared to clean house from the top down and just let the heads roll. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, people get complacent and lazy. And by people, I mean top execs at Motorola. They’ve lost focus of what really matters. What matters is being innovative and build the best handset that money can buy.

So Mr. Brown has now taken direct personal control of the phone division, and this may be the very last effort to turn the ship around or sell her off to someone else. I wish you the best of luck sir, and godspeed.
