thats a huge news.
Google bought Motorola for 12.5 billion us$.
This will get Google exclusive access to Motorola's 12000 patents.
For Google Android this would be a big boost; specially to protect them from the lawsuits from rivals.

Yes, the current news is that Google announced the acquisition of Motorola..

yes thats good news for Google..

There is obviously a lot to know about this. I think you made some good points in Features also.Keep working, great job!

I am sure you will like this infography which shows the acquisition by Google in all these years!

I think Google really is striving hard to beat it's competitors, be it Facebook or Apple. At least it's going all round. I love the fact Google is determined to defeat both the Social Networking and Mobile aspect, if they release a (good..amazing) smart phone, I'm definitely buying one.

Watch out Apple! Google's coming for ya!!

Motorola split in 2 so Google picked up half. The mobility market is the fastest growing segment currently and this will go nicely with Google's Android and Cloud computing. Its kind of mind boggling the kind of money these guys throw around. I have given away a couple of thousand dollars in their coupons. They keep refilling the Ad Word control panel.

Google is facing a war on two fronts, so they need to be aggressive. Their competitors are beasts and the good news: consumers will benefit the most from all this competition,lol.

good for patents but might lock out droid dev for other manufacturers. a double edged sword.

This is Good news From Google.

It is good news for Google,Google always rocks.

great information sharing here... Google is always going new.

Motorola beat Nokia in the technology field.
congratulation!
