Steve Jobs isn't the answer. I hope you're being facetious. The guy is already the visionary for one overwhelmingly successful company with a dominating mobile handset, doing another would only dilute that vision.

I do agree, however, that Motorola does need its own equivalent of a Steve Jobs. That letter was refreshing and expository, and explains what I think a lot of people have had on their minds; how Motorola could hit a brick wall after the success of the RAZR.

It's pretty obvious now that the company sat on its collective ass selling the damn product forever until nobody cared anymore. Then they did nothing about it. Get an engineer into the CEO position, get a marketing person into CEO, get ANYONE who gives a damn or knows a thing about mobile products. Hell, get Ryan Block over there.

What's ironic is that from the sound of this letter, a majority of Engadget and Engadget Mobile readers are probably more qualified to be CEO than Greg "Kill Moto Dead" Brown.
