Motorola On Acquisition Trend
Motorola recently bought Symbol Technologies, a well-known RFID equipment manufacturer. Now they've purchased [Law of Mobility] Good Technology, a make of e-mail mobility. Law of Mobility wonders if Moto will buy Palm next, and analyzes that scenario. My feeling is that while they might try, I can't see why Palm would sell, despite recent drops in quarterly earnings. Palm has its own name, built up over several years. Though it might give them a serious advantage over RIM and their Blackberry products.
Caller IP talks about the purchase as well, and mentions Radicati's report (PDF, 2 pgs) that wireless email will take off. But the market will be driven by Microsoft and RIM, according to the report. However, with Motorola's acquisition of Good, things might just change.
