Like, if Motorola wasn't poor, they'd develop their own OS. And now that Windows Phone doesn't suck, they're open to using it again.
Motorola has been balls-out Android since its resurrection—when Windows Mobile ran into delays, Jha killed product development with the OS (http://gizmodo.com/5392197/how-motorola-stopped-sucking) to keep the company afloat. Motorola's less wobbly now, especially since the spinoff, so now Jha's planning things like using the Motoblur interface with Motorola's set-top boxes, just like its phones. But it's still curious to hear him openly step away from Android, the software that arguably saved Motorola, telling the WSJ, "If I had more money for R&D, I'd be developing an operating platform."
And talking more specifically about phones and Windows Phone 7 (http://gizmodo.com/tag/windowsphone7/), Jha says, "I'm open to it...I think I need diversity in our portfolio." Who needs diversity when you've got love? Oh, well, nevermind.
