Motorola makes all manner of electronic gizmos, but they've struggled to be profitable in the mobile space. Motorola has a fair amount of debt, but still has cash reserves as well. Knowing this, when the company splits up next year, the mobile division will become a company posed to take a solid run at the mobile market.
The plan, as reported by the Wall Street Journal, is to give the company created around the mobile division the bulk of the cash. The main company will probably also buy back all the Moto debt, making the new Motorola Mobility ready to compete. Selling phones is competitive these days and Motorola will need all the help they can get if they're to compete against Apple and HTC. If the new company still can't make it, at least we'll know they had the best shot possible.
