...last year, Motorola emerged as one of the largest shippers of smart phones. That's largely due to Droid, its newest offering for Verizon Wireless. Motorola has also made headway with Cliq, its T-Mobile phone, and early in March it launched BackFlip, the first Android phone for AT&T.

Under bright lights accented by the moonlit sky at Sauze d'Oulx, top-ranked Heil performed a 360 off the first jump and her trademark backflip with iron cross (skis crossed, tips down) off the second. "I've been feeling the pressure pretty much the last eight months," said Heil, 22. "The most important thing was to be in the moment and just let it all out."
