Toffy.ph, 15 Feb 2012 is it? it's like saying spaghetti originated in italy... moreAmerican are not great they are greatest in most, Europe come then,Japan lacks in innovation, 1st air condition car was a caddy, 4WD was a jeep, even the hybrids 1st came from US not toyota, So nothing has left for the Japanese to invent or pioneer,

      glad to see google trying to fix motorola. Their devices were not so good. All they did was suck up all the RAM in the phone, then restart itself. I had 40 apps on 4 different moto phones and they ALL had the same restarting problem. I even had the Droid X2 (which is suppose to be able to handle 40 apps) and that turned off at least once every 30 hours of uptime.

          is it?

          it's like saying spaghetti originated in italy when in fact it's from china.

          american call it "American Pride"
          british call it "having a big mug for a droplet of rhum"

          no offense, americans are great in terms of technology, totally awesome. it's just that their pride that keeps them shouting that we thought about it first. :D

              Paul V. and Joseph Baldwin "incorporated" Galvin manufacturing Corporation back in 1928 and they bought Stewart Battery Company's battery eliminator plans and manufacturing equipment.

              58% of The corporation is basically held by a japanese company which i cannot disclose the name.

              sad the name of the japanese company was not suppose to be disclose to the public at that time and was buried down to cover japanese investments during WW2.

              it's up to you guys if you believe it's purely american. i wish i can post some documents from our clients here, but that means me losing my job. so if you say it's american...you go ahead and say it's american.

              :)

                Toffy.ph, 15 Feb 2012 originally it's japanese run by americans. you can check... moreWhat history are you reading...? Motorola was American company to begin with, started by an American, run by Americans... There's nothing Japanese about Motorola, except that they have Japanese division.

                Hit Ctrl+F and type "Ja" in Motorola article in Wiki and you'll only see "Japan" in 1970s but the company started in 1920s. The name Motorola was established in 1940s. No Japanese involvement at all.

                Wtf is this? New type of propaganda?

                                moto is japanese, you know what japanese technology can do. in terms of advance technology, they are trailing the americans and exceeding on some parts.

                                partnering it google who is rumored to have a futuristic technological theories that only awaits practical applications...then what do we have?

                                will have a taste of the 23rd century in the 21st

                                      My predictions are that 2 years from now the 3 major mobiles will be (in no particular order):
                                      Motorola's running a very special edition of android,
                                      Nokia's running windows
                                      Apple if they make necessary changes to the limited iOS

                                        Anonymous, 14 Feb 2012Agreed. Some of the rubbish spouted here by Amdroid fanboys... moreir's funny how proud you are about the size of apple's profits. of course you realize that it's done by overpricing their devices. thanks to you.

                                        i myself use android for now, not a huge fan, i just consider it the best for me at the moment. i don't think about buying an apple product because of their limitation. but if tommorow they would change their policy, i'll consider buy one of their products, if the price is right and i have some room to turn through their os.
                                        used symbian for years. not bad, had it's strong points, but was left behind, unfortunately.
                                        wp? just waiting for windows 8 and the potential changes that it could bring, and will see. for now it's not fun, and appshort.
                                        and all of you fanboys are kind of ridicolous by taking sides as if you own the companies that take your money. just use what you feel appropriate and leave other's choice be.
