I might add that Motorola recently split into 2 entities (Dec 2010); Motorola Solutions, wi-fi, 2-way radio, EDA devices (formerly Symbol) etc. and Motorola Mobility, cell phone related concerns, digital boxes, and modems. Google is now the owner of Motorola Mobility.

I suspected that Motorola was shopping the mobility side of things when they split the groups, in fact the split was supposed to happen in 2009. They seemed to hold off until the market was ready for the sale of Motorola Mobility, and it seems that a buyer has emerged.
