The open-source Google Android inspired lots of manufacturers, including Motorola. It seems that the transition to the new operating system won't be without problems. According to the Wall Street Journal, Sanjay Jha, Motorola's co-CEO and head of the mobile phone department is developing serious lay-offs and simplifications. As Google's software offers all functions ready-made, they won't be needing lots of developers in the future. The introduction of the new platform will results in simpler development and more cost-effective operation, but these also mean lots of lay-offs, which will affect thousands of employees. Since 2007 Motorola has laied off a total of 10.000 employees.
