Motorola flips Good Technology to Visto after brief, fruitless marriage

A little over two years after acquiring push email and mobile fleet management provider Good Technology for well over $400 million dollars in an apparent bid to out-BlackBerry BlackBerry, Motorola's giving up. Little consumer-facing goodness has come from the acquisition in the brief time the two firms were locked in holy matrimony, but Good's new suitor -- fellow mobile email player Visto -- seems like a better fit for the company, and in all likelihood, they're picking it up at a fire-sale price on account of the down economy and Moto's many, many misfortunes. Got anything else to sell up in that creaky attic of yours, Moto? Like a cool phone, fr'instance?
