Was motorola at one point apart of apple computers? or
maybe company that produced parts for apple?

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.

those ipod phones are fucking awful.

despite having capabilites to have up to 2gb cards in them,
it still limits you to 100 songs! blasphemy!!

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.
