The company had a brief bump in price but it's back down now. Motorola is now 7th in market share (below Apple). They sold about 2.2 million Android phones and another 6.3 million dumb phones. The dumb phone business will continue to evaporate faster than the smartphone business will grow. I don't see how their Android products will stand out vs. HTC. The "Droid" brand belongs to Verizon and they are now putting it on HTC white label devices. http://blog.asymco.com/2010/04/30/rim-and-apple-now-ranked-4-and-6-in-phone-market-shares/ http://www.canalys.com/pr/2010/r2010051.html Not much of a surprise if you look at the stock chart.
