This should come as no surprise that the telecommunications service providers are thinking of a spin off for their mobile division. Breaking it away from the home and network division, according to CEO in charge of the home and network division, Greg Brown “this is a strategy of record”. Not too long before hand the company was rumored to be selling the home and networks business for a whopping 4.5 billion dollars.

Discussions have been talking place for roughly a year about spinning off the mobile division of the company. Most analysts feel that it is too soon to be chopping the home and network division when the mobile division has as of yet been able to get completely back on its feet.

According to CEO Sanjay Jha, head of the mobile division, “the spin of will be largely based on the performance of the phones as well as the overall business environment.  No matter the case we have not heard the last of Motorola’s mobile division. Wither they will be sticking with the combined company or simply spinning it off onto its own backing and company is yet to be reveal. All in all only time will tell if the single giant will become two or will it remains a whole.

Keep an eye out for the year to come as we look to see a split or at the very least a rise in the footing of Motorola’s mobile division.

Intermedia has declared that now mobile-users will be able to experience Enterprise-grade Exchange Services just like they experience at their workplace, as they have made the all-new DROID compatible with the Exchange Solution of ActiveSync offered by Microsoft. Intermedia, as the leader in the industry, is already providing Exchange solutions such as emailing, calendar management and quick messaging facilities to users of other devices such as Samsung Blackjack, Motorola Q, Palm Treo and iPhones.

During the exciting announcement made by Intermedia, Jonathan McCormick, CEO of the company said that there are many workers who need the same level of Enterprise-grade Exchange as they receive at their work place while they are traveling. With Intermedia’s support for Motorola DROID, more and more users using various brands of mobiles can now get the same Enterprise-grade experience during traveling as they get when they are in their offices with the use of their hosted Exchange services.

Intermedia also announced to the public that it offers customers, BlackBerry Exchange Solutions or BES which gives them the luxury to have connectivity on the road so that they can check their email using wireless-push. And on top of that, users also reap the benefits of two-way syncing as it gives them access to calendar, tasks and email. The announcement of Intermedia’s “BlackBerry Wireless Solution hosting for hosted Exchange” is great news for BlackBerry users as they will get great Exchange solutions while they’re on the go.

Intermedia mentioned that as the HostPilot Control Panel is offered through its Exchange 2007 and 2010, organizations will have a greater degree of protection and command over their devices. With the help of this feature, companies can instantly erase data from a lost device by their user in order to sustain security measures.

With Google and Verizon throwing their weight behind it, the Droid is expected to make the Android smartphone a real force in the mobile phone markets that have Symbian and Windows competing for attention not just among users but makers as well.  The Android is a young OS and has already made its mark among tech savvy smartphone users.  The Motorola Droid is the world’s first full QWERTY touchscreen to use the latest Android 2.0 release.

Motorola Does the Job Right This Time.

Smarting from its RAZR failures with boring designs that only aped the shadows of its pioneering RAZR model when it was first introduced, Motorola is pitching the Droid on both sides of the Atlantic as its ticket to getting back its market leadership position among mobile phone users.  Scheduled to be released in Europe under the Milestone name and 02 networks, the Droid is expected to fetch a reasonably good price of ₤481 SIM-free but could easily go down that point once it is released. This makes its price-feature ratio quite appealing even to the most jaded Motorola hater out there.

With a 3.7” capacitive touchscreen with wide VGA resolution and a 5 megapixel camera with LED autofocus, geo tagging and DVD-quality video recording as well as powerful processor that sports Open GL for graphics intensive games, the Motorola Droid is essentially a top of the line smartphone.  A 256 internal memory is modest but its microSD support should give you 16Gb of external memory expandability. You get 3G/UMTS with broadband HSPA data connectivity, WiFi 802.11b/g, Bluetooth 2.1 with EDR and A2DP as well as GPS in two flavours – Google Maps for the US Droid version and Motorola’s MOTONAV system for the European Milestone version.

With its upscale features and a good price at a SIM-free €481 as announced by O2 in Germany, it’s interesting how the DROID/Milestone will work out on both sides of the Atlantic to reverse Motorola’s sagging fortunes.
