Is Apple really willing to trash G4 processor and Freescale partnership? - Lionel - 15:51:12
Some could have though that Apple will take the first opportunity to stop using G4 processor or Freescale products. It seems that the reality is different. Freescale employees (Freescale being the new name of Motorola semiconductor division) have received a message...hereafter is a part of it:
...What: A custom Apple store has been setup specifically for Freescale including many of Apple's best selling products. Buy the latest Apple technology, from iPods to iMacs, at a discount with Freescale's Apple Employee Purchase Program (EPP)!
How: Create your own personal account to buy Apple products at
http://www.apple.com/eppstore/freescale . Savings will be reflected upon final checkout for all Mac promotional purchases and pricing shown reflects EPP discounts.
Who: Freescale employees in the U.S.
Why: Apple acknowledges its strong partnership with Freescale and extends this offer as a way of saying thanks.
In summary Apple is proposing special price on Apple products to Freescale employees to acknowledge an strong partnership...so it is hard to imagine that Apple is proposing such advantages to stop it in few month...
