      ab: Motorola, set to split itself in two, has investors worrying about Motorola Mobility, a maker of mobile phones and television set-top boxes. The other half, Motorola Solutions, includes emergency-services radios and hand-held scanners and other pedestrian parts of the business. It has been performing relatively well. The company's mobile phone business has been struggling ever since its RAZR handsets went out of fashion in the late 2000s. There were indications of a comeback when the company bet on smartphones running Android, Google's operating system. The model known as Droid is quite popular, even leading the unit to its first profit in three years in the third quarter of 2010. However, Motorola Mobility has long-term problems ahead, as other handset makers are also opting for Android.
