Motion Computing having major layoffs today

Motion_logoA tipster that wishes to remain anonymous has informed us that a Motion rep told him that Motion Computing is laying off 40 people today.  This is reported to be their third round of layoffs in the past 12 months and if this is accurate then it looks pretty rough for the primary slate Tablet PC maker.  Austin-based Motion recently settled a patent infringement lawsuit with Typhoon Touch and it’s not clear if these latest layoffs are related to that settlement.  Let’s hope that Motion can hold on and pull through what is obviously a rough period for them and get back to making slates for the consumer market.  We were unable to reach anyone at Motion to ask for further information.
