Correction: that part of Ericsson was split circa 2001 into EMP and
Sony Ericsson, with the former focusing on hardware and low-level
software, and the latter on bringing out mobile phones which people
would actually want to buy. Bluetooth hardware and software is typical
examples of what was /not/ moved over to Sony Ericsson,

(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth gets it wrong too, but the
other way around.)
