  • I think that's the whole point of Lenovo purchasing Motorola, they want to attack the US and European markets and they've seen Dell and other PC manufacturers fail before them. So buying Motorola, and their access to supply channels and a strong consumer brand, is a pretty good idea.

    Lenovo's strength is business targetted products, Motorola was always a workhorse there too.

    Motorola is a dead brand in anywhere other than the US these days and Lenovo already have the supply channels they need for smartphones.

    Motorola Mobility, the loss making rump that Google acquired, was the handset business. Motorola Solutions is, and was, the business focused part that was always profitable.

    The more I look at it, the less I understand Lenovo's reasoning. The only reason that makes sense is that it gives them some kind of benefit with Google that they can exploit in China.
