Google executives repeatedly rebuffed Motorola’s attempts to build a phone with Google’s services
by [email protected] · March 16, 2014
Google reportedly prevented Motorola from building a phone that integrated tightly with Google’s other services.
Motorola wanted to work with Google’s natural language processing group to improve voice-command recognition in the Moto X smartphone. But such a partnership never happened, and while the Moto X’s hands-free “Touchless Control” voice command feature is useful, it clearly isn’t as powerful as what Motorola had hoped to build.
“Executives kept telling Mr. Page that without a gargantuan marketing budget to compete with Samsung—now one of the biggest advertisers in the world—or deeper integration with Google, Motorola’s progress would be limited.” Yeah, that never happened, either.
