During 2012, we performed a Step 2 goodwill impairment analysis (described in Note 15, Goodwill and Other Long-Lived Assets), which indicated the useful lives of intangible assets related to our acquisition of Vocollect had changed from our previous estimates. As a result, we changed the useful lives of the following intangible assets: developed technology, in-process research and development, customer relationships, and lease agreements.
Our intangible assets have a finite life and are amortized over their estimated useful lives on an accelerated basis determined by their estimated discounted cash flows. Amortization expense on intangible assets was $17.5 million, $11.8 million and $0.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Estimated amortization expense for the succeeding five fiscal years is as follows (in thousands):
