I wouldn't be surprised to hear around July 19 that Apple has "invested" $2 billion in Foxconn's Brazil infrastructure (equipment, working capital, prepays, etc.). If they committed $4 billion last time (without specifying who or where), I can believe they would do it again.

Mot's Droid X2 dual core ....the good bad & the UGLY . In quotes below is the "Ugly" which Motorola seems to revel in and why will never know ..they're just real good at it i guess<vbg mashable.com Also seems like everyone is dying for Android 2.3 , this is one company that would do better to not have their logo on any phone unless peeps thinking they are buying "american" . Made alot shorting MOT and did again , this is what i was talking about 'style' or the lack of it and how some companies just are never going to ever get it . (Choice of Droid itself is always irrating to me , poor choice & sounds to similar to "drone" was my first & lasting impression from the start , thank heavens they sweetened up the allusion with references to gingerbread icecream oreo cookies ...Star Wars was a comedy wasn't it ? lol ) The Ugly on the Mot Droid X2 , DOA in the style dept as only MOT can do <G The phone’s 5.4 oz weight makes it easy to handle, but it also makes this mostly plastic object feel dime-store cheap. The X2's overall impression is that of a utilitarian handset that was slapped together without regard to design. It looks and feels like a disposable slab with four cheap buttons across the bottom, topped by an overly obtrusive Verizon logo. Like many Android smartphones, the back ramps up to a sloping chin with the camera on top. And that side of the phone is festooned with no less than four logos, reminiscent of a NASCAR driver’s fire suit. If you’re looking for high style, you’re certainly not going to get it with this smartphone. this kind of product design is not only inexcusable its insulting , these guys are such losers its beyond words.
