    Oh lord. This is the guy that screwed Motorola. He wanted to be # 1 no matter what, so they dropped the margins to negative just to sell more phones. Oh my. Shorting dell stock in 3..2..1........


    PS

    It makes me sad that no one mentions I sent this :-( but I wont stop contributing. I just had a sad day. :'(

    @LindsayJoy's MBP is into S+M: Good job on the catch then, dear Lindsay. It was a good post. Also, I just don't see how this is going to go well for Dell, as it didn't work for Motorola, and Dell already has a bad track record for things other than computers.

    I hope this becomes a reality but Gizmodo and Engadget need to stop with all the Android hype because its starting to sadden me. I'm currently looking for a phone and I really want to wait for a good Android phone but it seems most of them aren't coming out anytime soon.

    @Andrew Rubalcaba: We can't stop reporting the news, but I will tell you confidently that you will have several Android choices by this fall—I'm thinking between three and six across most carriers. Just hang onto whatever piece o' crap you have now for a little longer, and your suffering will be rewarded.

    Funny, I seem to recall Dell making Windows hand-held devices previously. I also recall them getting into the MP3 market, too. Huh. I wonder how that worked out for them before? Well, the one thing I love about Dell is that they are destined to repeat their own history. Them Texans are a glutton for punishment.

    Dear Dell. You've shown repeatedly that you cannot compete against Apple. Stop trying until you get your core business in order rather than keep grasping at straws.

    Ron Garriques was in Libertyville Illinois (Motorola's Cell phone division) not Schaumburg (corporate headquarters).

    @FuzzysFriedChicken:


    You also forgot to mention that Ron Garriques wanted to be the #1 handset maker (measured by giving even Tom, Dick and Harry and Jane, and Mary a RAZR) at any cost, by cutting the margins down to nothing if not negative. Ergo Motorola going in a downward spiral since then.


    Great choice Dell!

    @Wilson Rothman:


    Because the most important aspect of this article is the office he worked in right?


    And Greg Brown (CEO of the BMS side of Motorola aka, the side that is not bleeding money) met with Obama today. Along with a boatload of other CEOs.


    And Greg Brown works of of Schaumberg. Oh and did I mention that cops luvvv our products? And our hand scanners are oh so popular in jails.


    But really, I'd do anything to make Motorola succeed. Well errr... almost anything. I already work 18 hour days by choice. I'm a glutton for punishment.
