With their $12.5B acquisition of Motorola Mobility this morning, Google is buying a lot of stuff. They're buying 20,000 employees (almost doubling their headcount.) They're buying an absurdly daunting armory of over 24,000 patents (I mean, come on: Motorola has the patent on the cell phone.) But there's one more thing that Google's buying, and it's one that shifts up the Android game all together: nearly 30% of Android's existing marketshare in the U.S.After years of owning next to none of the hardware marketshare for their own software platform (even the so-called "Google phone" Nexus devices are made by HTC and Samsung), Google has just become Android's 2nd biggest manufacturer.
