Overall, Motorola corporate has made excellent decisions and executed very well when it comes to this total space of wireless and I know every one of them. From the launch of Canopy to the latest buy of Symbol, for sure arguably the best end-to-end strategic decision making in the business. They now compete with us on every front, every niche and macro market. That, combined with their size, wealth and power makes them really the only competitor worth worrying about in the total sense of the market.
So, for the record, I have nothing but respect for them. That does not mean they field the best products. But, it does mean they carry a damn big stick.
