Kind of funny to read the headline, dont know if it was on purpose, of highlighting “Qualcomm loses..”, rather than “MOTO gets…”

But yes, will be very interesting to see how things shape up, Sanjay has been instrumental behind Qualcomm’s success and is akin to what Steve Jobs is to Apple.

But it will be new challenges for him in MOTO with all the politics and the consumer oriented-ness of the handset business… remember, Nokia now calls itself a “web services” company and sees its main competition as Google and not the traditional handset manufactures anymore.

But Sanjay did say he recognizes this as his weakness during the conference call and will be getting outside talent to address this so will be very interesting.
