I worked for Motorola for 11 years! Its downfall can be put firmly at the door of diddy management... too many a*se lickers and yes men floating to the top... not enough high calibre real managers.

The vast majority of high quality people left this sinking ship a long time ago!

(sigh) Motorola... an outstanding company ruined by diddy management. (sigh)

Why would anyone want to compete in such a small, pointless market?

Plus even if someone does manage to make hardware that has a significant edge over and Apple device, most of that market segment is populated by Apple lemmings, who will never switch over to a non-Apple product. Seems that Apple's marketing is good enough that it even distracts the boards of other companies.
