The first product Motorola started to develop was a record player
for automobiles. At that time, the most known player on the market was Victrola,so the called themselves Motorola.

Thats an early HMV sign too. I'm surprised Motorola have been going so long, I spose its from their two way radios.

Motorola also used to make microchips. They made a fair bit of money from the Motorola 68000, a little chip that just happened to be the CPU of the Commodore Amiga, one of the most (in)famous and best selling home computers of all time.

A Record player ? i thought they started with manufacturing car radios, so from Victorola to Motor-ola
edit : yup, i was right, Their first product was a battery eliminator when their company was named Galvin Manufcaturing Corporation and then changed their name to Motorola when their car radios became commercially successfull
