I heard from a reliable source that we are close to a major announcement. This was recently indicated by Don W. and my information confirms this. I would recommend not delaying any buying. A contract announcement after all this time should cause a sharp increase in share price. Better to buy in the 5's than at 7 or 8 or higher. I agree with a poster on Yahoo finance that the odds for a successful outcome are very high.

Just to avoid any confusion here, Motorola does not manufacture batteries, only assembled packs. They developed in-house expertise in designing and manufacturing battery packs for their own radios & cell phones (etc) a long time ago and now resell that service to other people. Meaning they design the plastic shell, circuitry in the pack, etc, but they buy the actual battery cells from someone else (like Sanyo or Panasonic). Their contract with Micron is a simple outsourcing of design that is done in-house or with a direct battery mfg. partner at most other notebook players.
