Look at another parallel here. EMC and IBM are fierce competitors in the enterprise storage market. Yet, EMC buys a lot of the hard disks from IBM, and in fact, EMC and IBM have both signed an agreement for a substantial sale of IBM's drives to EMC. New business models are emerging where the distinction between client and competitor is fading.

James,
I'm wondering if you or others on this thread might have some insight into the in-car 'AutoPC' market and how that might relate to WIND.
I bring this up because someone on the RSYS thread noticed the following about MOT ...

<http://www.mot.com/SPS/WIRELESS/business/overview.html>
> Motorola:
<snip>
> Is executing on contracts with seven automotive companies for in-car
> wireless communication and information products

and once GM starts its rollout of OnStar this Fall, the Fords and the rest surely will have to answer with something of their own ?
