The innovation from Motorola that was seen at CES was more than enough to make the company stand out.

The week started off with the official launch of Motorola Mobility as its own publicly traded company. This kicked off the new start for Motorola as a new beginning with an More >

Verizon’s highly anticipated 4G LTE service, which promises speeds of 5-12Mbps down and 2-5Mbps up, is launching in 38 major metropolitan markets and over 60 airports today.
