Change of plans again, folks. According to The Wall Street Journal, the company's getting ready to reveal a new initiative, whereby it still sells its wireless networking business, but the set-top box and core handset business would instead be spun off into a new, publicly-traded company. That'd invariably leave a pretty small Motorola -- less than one-third its current size in terms of sales, selling primarily public-radio system and bar-code scanners. Would the newly-minted company get a new name, logo, and series of catchy, name-inspired puns? Plans are still being finalized, but we're watching this closely.Motorola to roll out revised plan, schism not so clear-cut anymore (http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/motorola-to-roll-out-revised-plan-schism-not-so-clear-cut-anymo/) originally appeared on Engadget (http://www.engadget.com) on Wed, 10 Feb 2010 17:39:00 EST.
