Disney Legend Glen Keane Joins Motorola’s Spotlight Stories
To animate means to bring to life. Glen Keane’s work seems larger than life. As the creator and animator of beloved Disney characters such as Ariel from The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Pocahontas, the Beast from Beauty and the Beast, and Tarzan, Glen has drawn more than figures on a screen. He has made the stories and characters of our childhoods. He gave us imaginary friends, admired heroines, misfits in search of understanding, and at least a Halloween costume or two. At Motorola’s Advanced Technology and Projects group, we believe in the power of storytelling, so we’re building new stories made...

We owe you an apology.
I want to apologize to our customers and fans for the issues we experienced on our website with our Cyber Monday promotion. I want you to understand what happened, and what we are doing to rectify the situation.First, we misjudged the overwhelming consumer demand for Moto X, which was far greater than we expected. Second, our pre-sale site testing was not sufficiently extensive. Testing failed to reveal weaknesses caused by large volumes of concurrent orders flowing through the MotoMaker customization engine.Thus, when we opened the promotion this morning, an extraordinary spike in concurrent...

Introducing Motorola Spotlight Stories™ - Storytelling Designed for Smartphones
Smart phones have become deeply personal devices, indispensable in our lives. Storytelling is the most timeless and human of activities.

On that trip we saw the first signs of a new, open hardware ecosystem made possible by advances in additive manufacturing and access to the powerful computational capabilities of modern smartphones.

Moto X: The Smartphone Comes Home
There are 150 million smartphones in the USA. Until Moto X, not one of them was made here.When we set out to make Moto X, we asked ourselves, why?Conventional wisdom said it wasn’t possible. Experts said that costs are too high in the US; that the US has lost its manufacturing capability; and that the US labor force is too inflexible. And it’s true that most manufacturing in the consumer electronics industry moved offshore over a decade ago. One year ago, we chose to believe differently. We chose to be optimistic about the future of manufacturing in America. Not because making our flagship product...

Hello Skip. Goodbye PIN. Introducing Motorola Skip for Moto X.
Thirty-nine. That’s the number of times the typical person unlocks their smartphone each day. For power users it’s closer to a hundred times per day. At 2.3 seconds each time the phone is unlocked, it adds up to a lot of time spent entering 4-digit PINs or patterns. Because it’s cumbersome and slow, many people never bother with authentication at all, or they use fast but easily-guessed PINs like “0000.”Our smartphones are central to our digital lives...the keys to our friends, our finances, and a lot of our personal information. Security is increasingly important, but it shouldn’t be irritating....
