Tracking supply and demand on the Motorola Q

>> What are some of the other areas you've been innovating in?

>> Another area for us is just getting better visibility to supply and demand. When you have the kind of growth we have, for example in the third quarter we produced 53.7 million units. That's more than we did in all of 2005 in one quarter. And we're growing so fast it's very, very important to know what demand you have, what supply you have and so we make it possible to see every single morning, at 6 30 A.M. what our demand and what our supply is on a global basis for our mobile device leadership and now we're doing that in our connected home and in our networks and enterprise business. And it is mission critical to running the business every day. We happen to deliver that on the queue and so Ron Garricks assumed spelling is our biggest queue user. He's the president of our mobile device business and that's because he's relying on that information to run his business every day.
