Motorola is ending 2008 the way it started -- with layoffs. The handset maker confirmed that it has cut about 7,800 employees jobs in the past 12 months.

In a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission yesterday, Motorola said it is completing its October layoff action of 3,000 employees with the final 400 occurring as the year concludes. In 2007 Motorola laid off a total of 6,700 employees.
