by Erica Ogg

Motorola invented the cell phone biz, but hasn't had a hit in years.

CNET News reporter Maggie Reardon, who keeps a close eye on Motorola, talks with us about how the phone maker can get its groove back.

Also on Friday's podcast: Movement within the Microsoft ranks, IBM's not happy about Apple's most recent hire, Tesla is having financial issues, and electric-car companies could be creating a different kind of environmental problem.
