And what a trajectory for Motorola - car radios in the 1930s, powering Neil Armstrong's words from the moon during the space race, becoming one of the defining brands in emerging mobile phone market....now the offshoot of an internet company. Wow :exmark:

Motorola Mobility was recently spun off from the main Motorola company. What's left is called Motorola Solutions, and it does stuff like wireless voice and data systems for industry, digital point-to-point radio, barcode systems and stuff like that.
