Computerworld - With Motorola splitting into two companies on Jan. 4, analysts believe the enterprise-focused business will thrive while the new consumer entity that makes Android smartphones will confront challenges for some time in an increasingly competitive market.
The change, officially called a "separation" in Motorola's Nov. 30 announcement of the move, involves spinning off 82-year-old Motorola's consumer, home products and smartphones product lines into a new company called Motorola Mobility Holdings (whose stock will be traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol MMI).
