AUSTIN, Texas — Cellphone pioneer Motorola announced Wednesday that it’s opening a Texas manufacturing facility that will create 2,000 jobs and produce its new flagship device, Moto X, the first smartphone ever assembled in the U.S.

Not California.

Not New York.

Not Michigan.

Not Washington.

Not Maryland.

Not Colorado.

Not Illinois.

It's...the Great State Of Texas!

(FYI, this is written by a Californian.)

I know Perry did not make this happen himself, but I get sick of the Perry bashers.

Do youy work for this company? Did you have anything to do with this development?

If not what gives you the right to be “proud”? Just because you draw air in Texas?

Pathetic.

I work to hone things everyday.

The Chinese are good at copying when all the secrets are public and the patents expire.
They are lousy at innovation.

I consider this a wonderful thing.

They cant even beat us at economy.

2K more jobs for Tx Woo Woo!

Duse, what is your problem? Are you always this ugly and disrespectful? You are acting like a liberal!!

He is obviously proud that this product is being made in his state. Texas should make people proud, it does thing right like job creation. I am not from Texas and I am happy for Texas that they got this employer.

Get a life!
