Speculators have named various purchasers of Motorola’s struggling cell phone division but there may be a winner: Apple.

In the face of declining market share and profits Motorola has been looking for suitors for its ailing wing and it seems the attraction for Apple comes in the form of the recently inked agreement between Motorola and Kodak, allowing Apple access to next-gen camera’s with large picture sensors and autofocus on their next wave of iPhones.

Exciting news for iPhone lovers to be sure but WinMo will no doubt be less than pleased to see the manufacturer that produces their high-selling business smartphone the Q8 go the way of their rival Mac OSX.

The first of the ventures between Apple and Motorola will follow in this mode, the iMoto’s microsite is expected online next week at www.apple.com/iMoto.

Consumers have lost another manufacturer, and Motorola fans may shed a tear to learn that the Z10 may be the last phone to carry the Motorola logo.

Good news or bad news for the cellphone market?
