Submission + - Google Buys Motorola for $12.5 Billion (mashable.com)
mhh91 writes: "Google announced Monday morning that it will acquire Motorola Mobility for $12.5 billion.
Motorola is one of 39 manufacturers of handsets that use Google’s Android operating system.
Buying a hardware company is an unusual move for Google. The acquisition, Google said in a statement, “will enable Google to supercharge the Android ecosystem.”
Will this strengthen Google's position in the ongoing patent war with Apple and Microsoft?
