Motorola used to make apple CPUs, before the G-Series I think. Then they switched to IBM PowerPC chips... now they're switching to Intel.

Motorola and IBM both were part of a consortium which did PowerPC chips, which Apple have used after dumping the motorola 68000 series as used in old macs.
Now apple will be using Intel, because PowerPC is not really going anywhere.
I don't beleive Motorola are involved with Apple in anyway, other than selling them CPUs and various other chips.....although doesn't that new Motorola phone have itunes...hmmm conspiracy!

hmm no conspiracy. i was just wondering. a friend of mine is an avid apple hater. of course he just got a new motorola phone not the itunes one but some fancy deal. i read somewhere that motorola and apple had dealings, i wasn't sure if moto was an off shoot from apple technologies or anything....now i can bust his balls he's in love with a product that has had history with apple computers...he'll probably throw it on the floor and stomp on it and buy a shitty little nokia or LG phone.

i have an apple computer and a motorola phone, they don't sync up for shit.
Considering the software disc that came with the phone is only compatible with shitty pc's, i don't think there is ANY connection between Apple and Motorola, besides this new gay phone.

Well Apple have co-developed a system with Nokia for Nokia mobiles and LG manufacture some of the core iMac components so he would be a fool to buy either in place of a Moto if he hates Apple that much.
