"Motorola, Inc. and Good Technology, Inc. today announced that the companies have signed a definitive agreement under which Motorola will acquire privately held Good Technology, a leader in enterprise mobile computing software and service. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed. Good Technology, based in Santa Clara, is a strategic addition to Motorola's Mobile Devices business. The acquisition will extend Motorola's mobile computing capabilities and increase the company's enterprise client base. Good Technology's wireless messaging, data access and handheld security offerings provide intuitive and advanced productivity solutions for mobile professionals with enterprise-level device security and management."



Doesn't the title "Motorola to Acquire Good Technology" sound great? [pun intended] Finally we will get phones that do not break down or need constant firmware updates or registry hacks for enabling Bluetooth. Jokes aside, this is an awesome move by the Moto camp. Looks like Moto is pretty serious about the mobile enterprise customers. Now that it has an awesome hardware platform in the form of Q, it wants to add more power to its mobile portfolio to better compete with RIM, Palm and Nokia.

This is a really interesting move on Moto's part. I wonder why they felt the need to buy Good when they could continue to include Direct Push on their devices? Not that I'm complaining or anything. I guess will see future devices supporting Good and DirectPush out of the box. Nice!
