Since Motorola took over LI's own Symbol Technologies at the beginning of this year, just about all visible signs of Symbol disappeared. It became hard to know how continuing Symbol business was doing.
Motorola announced quarterly earning Thursday and it was seen as a good report, with profits beating Wall Street estimates.
As best as can be translated, Symbol moved into the "Enterprise Mobility Solutions" area at Motorola and here's what the company's report said about that division:
Enterprise Mobility Solutions had segment sales of $2.0 billion, up 47 percent compared with the year-ago quarter. Excluding highlighted items, operating earnings were $336 million, compared with operating earnings of $280 million in the year-ago quarter.
During the quarter, Enterprise Mobility Solutions:
-- Launched MOTOTRBO, a dual-mode digital 2-way communications platform
that integrates voice and data, in key markets in Asia and Latin
America.
-- Awarded several county-wide public safety contracts in North America.
-- Shipped the one millionth MC9000, the industry leading rugged mobile
computer.
-- Started shipping the MC17 mobile computer, aimed at retail, in-store
applications for enhanced personal shopping experiences.

You forgot to mention the layoffs & employees jumping ship?
I used to work for them for about 8 years and this company was well known for using their employees for their own benefit. and later on lay you off when they did not need you. shame on Symbol tech.
