SmartAboutThings writes If somehow you missed the reports of Lenovo buying Motorola – which was also bought by Google for $12.5 billion back in 2011 – then you should know that the deal is now complete. Lenovo has announced today that Motorola is now a Lenovo company — which makes Lenovo not only the number one PC maker in the world but also the third-largest smartphone maker.

Not quite. There are two separate businesses. The business that made cable TV equipment was sold to Arris. The police radios business is still called Motorola Solutions, and it's a standalone company (ticker MSI).
