Motorola is trying to focus its attention more and more on garnering more clientele from the business sector. They are kicking off a new trade-in program as an enticement to help business owners switch to Android. This new program will start on February 28th. Here is a quote from their press release with some details,

Starting tomorrow, the company will be offering up to $200 cash back for a consumer’s old device when a Motorola Business Ready smartphone is purchased, providing an instant online quote, pre-paid shipping label, and payment within four to six weeks of receipt. In addition, Motorola Mobility will be offering the MotoAssist™ IT service to give business users access to IT professionals who can help set up accounts, transfer contacts seamlessly, and even work directly with corporate IT departments.

Perhaps with Sanjay Jha getting the boot after Google takes over, more programs like these can revitalize Motorola's marketshare and fanbase. Here's the full press release below:
