Motorola Is Betting on Android

Om Malik interviews Motorola co-CEO Sanjay Jha:

As part of our conversation, Dr. Jha stressed that handset makers need to pick a single smartphone OS and devote resources to it in order to win. He pointed to Nokia and Symbian, Apple and its iPhone OS and RIM’s BlackBerry OS. He used that logic to justify why his company was betting the farm on Google’s Android. Why? Because it’s the best option for the company right now.

I’d love to see a Motorola comeback. Ditching Windows Mobile and focusing on Android sounds smart to me.
