    It's funny how people get so riled and want to fight when someone says something about their choice of trucks and it's even worse about their phone. It's a tool people I pack 3 of the things and still have trouble getting it do do the basic thing it's supposed to do and that I need the most and that's make a phone call.

    What Motorola cannot do is create their own operating software. They stole the design from the iPhone. I am sure you know this. Droid is a great phone, but it is only great because Motorola cannot come up with an idea on their own.

    Actually it has very little to do with Motorola specifically. It is the Android operating system which is a free Linux-based open-source OS made by Google. None of the Android phones make their OS.

    So, to make it fair to Motorola, lets add:

    Asus
    Samsung
    HTC
    Acer
    Dell
    Garmin
    Toshiba
    Hitachi
    Kyocera
    LG
    Sony
    Ericsson
    Philips
    Gigabyte
    Pantech
    Micromax
    T-mobile
    Velocity Micro
    Sharp
    Archos...

    ... I may have missed 2 or 3 hundred smaller hardware makers.

    And Microsoft and Apple stole GUI(Graphical User Interface) from Xerox.

    So what is your point?

    They bought it. Xerox had no real use for it as far as personal computers went. They made copiers.

    There's still some debate over who stole from who when Gates and Jobs split.
