Google asks for patience on new smartphones from Motorola Mobility

Google asked its investors patience regarding the Smartphone business with the acquired Motorola Mobility. The request was made during the presentation of quarterly results, along with the assertion that the hardware company had 12 of the 18 months of products in the pipeline when the acquisition was completed, and it will take more or less the same time to see products and positive results.
The search giant, led by CEO Larry Page, published results of $ 14.42 billion in revenue during the third quarter of 2012, and Motorola, which is still regarded as a separate company, contributed to losses in the overall results. But Google expects this to change. Eventually. "We're not in the business of losing money with Motorola," said the company's CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER, Patrick Pichette. "We are there are 120 days on this journey, and we inherited from 12 to 18 months in the pipeline of products. With the restructuring, really takes time for updates to appear. Be ready for a lot of fluctuation in our P & L (profit, profit and loss, loss) in the next quarter, "he warned. "It's simply the nature of the beast when you are reinventing the business."
Wireless network operators plan to your devices with at least one year in advance, so understand that Motorola had 12 to 18 months of commitment to new products is not a surprise. What Pichette meant by "reinventing a business" is unknown. Google said that there is a fire wall between the Android system and new hardware business with Motorola.
He doesn't want to piss off or cannibalize its relationship with partners like Samsung, LG, Sony, Huawei and others. Even so, Google will exert some influence on the direction that Motorola leads in smartphone and other hardware.
Since news of the interest of the company for the mobile manufacturer broke out in August 2011, reports of a smartphone Nexus designed by Motorola circulated on the WEB. However, until now, a unit of type was not released. The only Nexus smartphone is available from LG. Google also sells two tablets with the brand, one made by Asus and another by Samsung. Google gave no other information about Motorola and their plans for the company, limited to affirm that the restructuring is in the process.
