Motorola Spins a Turnaround Plan

| One industry publication published last week what it claims are Motorola 
| products in development. Included is a phone called ZN5, featuring a 
| five-megapixel autofocus camera and keyboard working off a Montavista Linux 
| 2.6.1 operating system.   
| 
| The OS choice, which Levy said could be "significant," aligns to handset 
| development news Brown did mention during the earnings call. The CEO said 
| both Java and Linux systems would be part of future product development.

Nearly 20% of Mid- and High-End Mobile Devices Will Run a Linux Operating
System by 2013, According to ABI Research

,----[ Quote ]
| Linux, which has been much maligned by Symbian and Microsoft as a non-starter 
| in the handset operating system market, is set to see strong growth as issues 
| with framework fragmentation and silicon requirements are alleviated. The 
| growing momentum behind the LiMo Foundation initiative, as well as the 
| marketing boost that has been realized from the entry of Google’s Android 
| solution has been further enhanced by Nokia’s support of the Maemo solution 
| and its purchase of Trolltech. ABI Research believes that by 2013, nearly one 
| out of every five mid- or high-end mobile devices will use a Linux operating  
| system.
