Tech companies from days past (Score: 0) by Anonymous Coward on 2014-08-30 16:29 (#2RX0) The old moto was a force to be reckoned with, now it's just kind of sad. Remember when they were actually a force in the CPU market back in the power-pc days? So goes to tech company circle of life. Let's see who comes next.

Their Razr phone was the must-have flipphone before iphones changed the market. They're still kind of a nice phone, actually. It's getting tougher to bounce back, but it's not impossible.I find it hard to believe the huge candybar formfactor smartphones and the sheet of icons you flip and slide are going to be here for ever. There's got to be something better out there, and someone is going to have to discover/invent/impose it. I'd be happy if it were someone other than Apple just because I'm bored with the status quo. Blackberry seems to be out of ju-ju. So, who's going to be the next nuclear bomb in the market place?
