Existence of Motorola X-Phone Confirmed by Motorola Job Listing
It’s now safe to say the mythical Motorola X does in fact exist. A nice little job posting on LinkedIn confirms the existences of this highly anticipated device as Motorola searches for a Senior Director Product Management (even though they spelled it Managment), X-Phone.
Motorola could have easily listed the position simply as Senior Director Product Management, but they made it a point to include the X-Phone at the end. I’d call that a nice little tease.
You won’t find any device information in the job listing, but we’ll post it in its entirety for your curious eyes.
