As you all should know, Motorola is a big competitor to GMGC because they have a voice based product called Myshpere bundled into their WAP visual based product. Often, I see people posting links that suggest they think AOL and GMGC will make an agreement. Well, I see nothing to say that can't happen, but also nothing to say it will. Anyway, on the basis that GMGC is trying to forge something special with AOL, I thought this news would be interesting.
