CEO of Motorola Inc. (MOT), Ed Zander, is no longer a stranger as the Silicon Valley vet closes on 10 straight profitable quarters, bringing the company's share of the worldwide mobile-phone market from 13 to 22 percent-second behing European giant Nokia, according to this Newsweek.com article and interview.
The company recently unveiled their thinnest phone yet, the 1/3-inch-thick Motofone. Zander says, "Motofone is about getting unconnected people connected. It's going to break barriers on price, while still delivering a profit. You go to rural areas, you don't have an abundance of energy to plug chargers into wall sockets."
"We wanted something that was energy efficient. We wanted something where you could read the display in sunlight and with voice prompts in local languages so you don't have to have a lot of education to go through written screen prompts. There are people who don't need videos, music and Internet on their phones."
