- I think Motorola's problem may be in trying to build something which
- they've never built before: Low-end products for the bargain-basement
- shopper.
-
- Motorola has successfully built commercial grade microwave systems for
- years, pioneered development in the 2-way radio & cellular industry,
- high-end video surveillance gear, CODEX high end stat muxes, X.25 packet
- switching, military communications gear, etc.,etc. However, in all
- instances they were playing to an affluent audience where the desire for
- excellence far outweighed any cost considerations. I remember from the
- early 1970s when a single-channel 150 Mhz Motorola walkie-talkie
- (HT-220) cost $1400.00 and you bought them because, by God they worked
- and the crap from EF Johnson and GE didn't.
-
- Today they still have the high end products that work better than
- anything the competition can conceive, but have now made a decision to
- enter the consumer electronics market, where, in my opinion, they stand
- out like a whore in church.

- Just my $.02 worth
