That's quickly coming to an end. Apple is a small customer for Motorola. Most of Moto's PowerPC chips go inot embedded devices like TV set top boxes, PVRs, routers and switchers, etc. And with the introduction of the G5 processor, Apple will no doubt shift to IBM as its sole supplier of CPUs.

The Motorola MPx200 is expected to be available next month from Orange in Europe and from other distributors throughout Europe and Hong Kong. AT&T Wireless also is expected to make the phone available in the United States in the fourth quarter of 2003. Combining the high-quality performance and personalization of a Motorola mobile phone with the power of Windows Mobile software, the new Motorola devices create an incredible platform for communications, robust multimedia, Web-browsing and gaming functionality. The new Motorola MPx200 allows customers to manage their personal information and synchronize their e-mail, calendar and contacts with Microsoft Outlook® either via a PC connection or via seamless over-the-air synchronization with Exchange Server.
With an expandable memory card of up to one gigabyte, the Motorola MPx200 offers virtually endless options for productivity and entertainment on the go. Customers can browse the Web using Pocket Internet Explorer, download and listen to digital music, and view video clips via Windows Media® Player. In addition, customers can install applications and software on their handset wirelessly or from a PC via USB connection.
The cost per message has yet to be finalised, but SITA spokeswoman Brigitte Renaud said that pricing would be commercially agreed between the airlines, with SITA taking into consideration what passengers are prepared to pay.
The service will be supported through SITA's Aircom satellite which links via Inmarsat satellites into the company's SMS service.
According to Renaud the service will not interfere with any vital flight systems.
"It is only going to be a software upgrade, with no additions to the existing airborne configuration, so there is nothing to worry about," she said.
