The Land Rush: Why Google Won't Bless Motorola As Its Favorite Android
The basics: Google is buying Motorola, pending government approval. Everyone and their editor-at-large has written about it. Now I'll take my shot at the soapbox.I don't know why Google acquired Motorola as opposed to simply licensing its trove of patents. My hunch is that it had more to do with fending off a threat from Microsoft than it had to do with Google's hitherto unforeseen hardware ambitions.But while I don't know the why, I have some guesses as to what's next. And I think that one of the prevailing theories " that Google is going to turn Motorola into its chosen House of Android, blessed with the latest and greatest releases before its competitors as it attempts to mirror Apple " is completely wrong.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/BcwsklFriDU/
