Cool As long as it doesnt mean an end to other companies making android handsets that is
Probably has more to do with this: http://mobile-device.biz/content/item.php?item=31257
holy cow, thats some pretty big news! Very intrigued as to what this will actually result in.
Supercharged android phones sound good to me hehe
I wonder if now the next 'Google' phones will be made by Motorola now; Google Nexus M anyone?
I`d say thats a fair bet ;)Quote:

EDIT: and as to what snootjim said: $4.5B for patents; + $7.5B market cap = $13B. Looks like Google might actually have netted themselves a bargain...?
Might be worth flogging my Galaxy 10.1 and get a Xoom as should get updates quicker
Yes I think your right. It seems like a bargain for Google to get a lot of patients to protect android while have a natural outlet for vanilla android.Quote:

Google have openly said they will help defend HTC in their patent wars so i should hope so!Quote:

No doubt as time goes on, Google will concentrate more on their own handsets and software updates than other manufactures. The bar will be set high once Google/Motorola get rolling, other manufactures will have to make sure their software support is on the heels of Google..... - bye bye Sony
The biggest looser will by HTC, as they have enjoyed much attention from Google, but as time goes by this relationship will change.
Wow, someone was feeling flush....
Can't see why HTC should struggle, however as said before I reckon SE should be worried!!!
me thinks that with google first picking up a load of silicon patents from IBM and now it has the moto patents. i think that google is preparing for full on war with apple and Microsoft
Good thing to.Quote:
