Apple Computer Co and Delphi???

I was watching Fox News the other night and JT Battenberg III Chairman, CEO & President Delphi was on some show (Maybe Hannity and Colmes) talking about Apple Computer's falling share prices, and he roughly said in a roundabout way that Delphi was considering buying or buying a chunk of the apple computer co....


Anyone else hear anything??

Delphi Employees?

Interesting, but even with falling prices, Apple's still too big for a merger. They have Apple (software & harware) and don't forget Pixar.

No

Here in Kokomo they make audio systems for GM cars, plus companies that have something to do with GM like Saturn...

also, when my dad worked at Delphi he supervised a line that made sensor chips for honda and toyota gas gauges

Plus delphi does more than cars

Delphi - Delco Electronics Division in Kokomo oversaw and built the circuitry for the first Segway

Delphi used to be a part of GM until they spun them off in the late 90's. They now make stuff for all vehicals, not just GM. Lots of times there are Chrysler vehicals sitting in the display in front of the Delphi plant in Kokomo.

one day, you're prolly going to see something from Delphi in all electronics. They are huge

Delphi, used to be Delco, stands for Dayton ELectronics COmpany... They do more than just cars.
