@wonder: Thank you for the kind words. We love this kind of information ourselves, so you’re pretty much guaranteed to see similar articles in the future. It’s always fun to dig down and find stuff that most people simply don’t know about, including us!

Someone should research and post about what other fields these electronic vendors are in. Example: Motorola isn’t just in the radio-telecommunicating business. They also make industrial machines. Sony also makes other types of electronics for businesses that has nothing to do with music, such as parts for these machines.

Another great post, guys.

I love the fact that Nokia made shoes. Still relevant for mobility!

(Totally agree with Erin reg. the Motorola poster/advertisement. Made me think of The Rocketeer.)
