The Bombshell That Wasnt: FOSS Patents Android Scoop Misses The Mark

nexus5As the legal challenges against Android have mounted, a few voices have risen more quickly than the rest. One of these is patent analyst Florian Mueller's, whose site FOSS Patents has chronicled cases like Apple v. Samsung (over the Galaxy Tab's likeness to the iPad) and Oracle v. Google (which goes after Android itself for patent and copyright infringement). His posts often get wide circulation, and, oftentimes, he concludes that Google is in rough shape.Today, Mueller has written a post called "Shocker for Android OEMs: Google document proposes giving Motorola time-to-market advantage to build Android 'lead devices'". The article has gotten quite a bit of press coverage and is now one of the top stories on Techmeme, as it's allegedly uncovered some of Android's dark secrets. Unfortunately, these revelations are neither new, nor were they particularly shocking in the first place.
