Google Buys Motorola Mobility, OH SNAP!

Today Google announced it's accusation of Motorola Mobility, something that no one really expected. What does this mean for Android? Hopefully Google will use Motorola to have complete control over their future Nexus devices an exert some kind of quality control over their products. Google realizes how important mobile is to their success and how they need to control both the hardware and software. Make sure to leave your thoughts down below!

@youtobe12127 You have to keep innovating , you cant take your time in this type of market.

@TheYoungshyne NO! it was the other way around and htc is counter suing.

@tjdah10 in the court of law it would possibly be slanderous, however in the court of public opinion, nobody gives a damn about semantics in whether or not he said, "copied", or "heavily influenced", okay. Personally, I wouldn't have even distinguished the two.

I am very happy for Google and for us Android users. The sheer number and "TYPES" of patents that Google got from Motorola could actually contain mobile computing technology that Apple and Microsoft will have to start paying royalties for. If Google takes the high road they will simply point these out to their competition , while remaining focused on keeping Android alive and kickin. Didn't Motorola make the PowerPC's for all Mac computers prior to Apple going the Intel route ?

Samsung Galaxy S II. 4 out of 4 stars. It will only get better.

@HANDSOMELOME Dang man. I don't like Apple so much either since they release little updates yearly that're considered groundbreaking and earth shattering. They took 3 yrs to give video recording ability, 4 for "official" wallpaper, we spend so much resources trying to block the jailbreaks, and if it wasn't for Android and it's manufactures, you would've never seen a screen bigger than 3.5". That being said. Calm down with the caps my friend. It's all good. The consumer wins.

Google saved them all by buying this. (HTC, Motorola, Samsung etc) Microsoft was trying to buy Motorola for the patents & if Google didn't buy them, MSFT would've shut down Android. They'd squeeze Android and make it so expensive, manufactures would stop supporting it. Apple and MSFT have already worked together with the Nortel patents. They want to shut Android down completely. This is why Apple and MSFT are evil. They want you to have no choice but Apple and Windows.

@43amro Samsung is worth too much.
