Motorola today launched a pair of Windows Mobile 6.5-based enterprise computing handhelds. While both are targeted at industrial businesses and won't be made available to consumers, it is noteworthy that the MC959B is the first mobile device to ship with Qualcomm's Gobi chip on board. Rather than work with just one networking technology, Gobi chips have software-defined radios on board, which can be reconfigured at will to access either GSM/UMTS or CDMA networks. Since launch, Gobi chips have been restricted to netbooks and laptops. The chips offer device makers more flexibility when it comes to making handsets for various network operators. Aside from the MC959B, Gobi chips have yet to appear in any mass-market devices.
