Motorola Missing The Holiday Rush With Camera Phones
I imagine that whoever is at fault in this situation may quickly find themselves out of a job. Just as camera phones are really catching on and as Motorola tries to rebuild some excitement around their mobile phones - two carriers have put out the news that Motorola's new camera phones won't hit the market in time for the holidays. Motorola has said they would be out, and Cingular and Verizon Wireless said they expected to have the phones by now - but are empty-handed. Apparently, AT&T Wireless is still waiting for their shipment as well. Setbacks happen, but this certainly doesn't look good for Motorola at a time when they needed to beat some expectations, not fall well short of them.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
