Though I had my doubts at the time that this deal was announced, it now seems that Motorola’s handset business is now owned by Lenovo. Here’s a snippet from an announcement that was posted today:
In Lenovo we have a partner that shares our mission and that brings global scale, a diverse product portfolio and a track record of seizing strategic opportunities and making the most of them. Together we will go farther, faster. With an impressive portfolio of smartphones, wearables and PCs, our two companies will be uniquely positioned to push the boundaries of choice and value, and bring exciting new experiences to people everywhere.
That may be true. Consider the following:
- Lenovo also gains access to the North American smartphone market. That’s good for them. Though it also means that they will have a ton of competition to deal with.
- Motorola gets access to Asia. That will help to sell more phones.
Here’s the problem. Google never made a dime with Motorola. Thus I wonder if Lenovo can do better. I guess we’ll see.
