Guy Kawasaki has accepted an advisory position to help get Motorola Mobility out of the dumps. It looks like Google is turning to the one time Apple Evangelist to help the struggling Motorola get its mojo back. Mr. Kawasaki made the announcement on his Google+ page.
What can Guy Kawasaki do for Motorola? Only time will tell, but he can certainly bring more attention to the company and hopefully get them back to making great devices again.
Motorola reminds me of the Apple of 1998: a pioneer in its market segment, engineering-driven, and ripe for innovation. I believe that great products can change everything. For example, the creation of the iMac G3 (the Macs that came in colors such as Bondi, Strawberry, Blueberry, Lime, and Grape) was a pivotal event for Apple.
As part of Google, the sky is the limit for Motorola, and I'm excited to be advising this team. One of my first actions is to create a Google+ community about mobile devices. The community is for mobile devices from any manufacturer running any operating system on any carrier's network. I hope you'll join it:
