Motorola Acquires Symbol Technologies
Filed in archive New Applications by Scott on September 20, 2006

This is all interesting, but my interest was piqued at possible long-term implications for the consumer market. Symbol's expertise is in wireless scanning and tracking, barcodes and RFID, ruggedized devices, and WLAN. Certainly down the road some of this expertise will make its way into Moto's consumer devices as demand evolves for the use of mobile devices as multi-function devices, capable of initiating payment, scanning products at retail (scanning your own groceries, for example), development of QR code-like applications for broader markets.
I am looking for Moto's participation in business markets to help drive up usage of these raw technologies and applications, and thus drive down the cost of deploying them in consumer applications over the long-term.
