I don’t think they’r reading too much into it. I think it’s pretty clear he’s softly confirming rumors that have been floating around since last february that motorola is interested in spinning off their handset division. Around that same time, Dell was rumored to be interested.

I think gizmodo is reading too much into what Moto CEO said. Ya, most businesses are for sale if the price is right, nothing new here. As for spinning off handset division, it would be a right move. AT&T Wireless was sold to cingular, and later spun-off again as AT&T, and see how good they are doing.
At this point Motorola should focus on bringing more Android handsets. Lower and mid segment of Android is for anyone’s taking. Motorola can become Nokia of Android, if they play it right.

I really hope they sell. Bought MOT at the bottom last jan because of there support for android and so far it’s paying off pretty well.

@Pieter

Indeed, wooohoo. I picked up some mot stock when it was down at $5.10 almost exactly a year ago which means I missed out on the 52 week low ($3!!) back in march of this year. I’ve been waiting patiently for these android devices to hit, and now it seems the payoff may be even bigger than I imagined. I’m beginning to hope these dell rumors pan out and dell ultimately breaks open the market segment for portable android devices from netbooks on down to mobile phones.

Tech for these devices is finally ripe enough to bust into the mainstream, and the situation reminds me of the 3d graphics market when NVIDIA was up and coming. I think it’s more likely that bigger established corps like dell are probably going to crowd out the wild nvidia-like upstarts for this paradigm. It still makes it really fun to play the stocks, though.

I’m afraid I’ll have to agree with Gizmondo on this one.
