Google kauft Motorola

Diesmal schreibt’s Larry Page selbst:
Today, more than 150 million Android devices have been activated worldwide—with over 550,000 devices now lit up every day—through a network of about 39 manufacturers and 231 carriers in 123 countries. Given Android’s phenomenal success, we are always looking for new ways to supercharge the Android ecosystem. That is why I am so excited today to announce that we have agreed to acquire Motorola.
Nach dem Vorgeplänkel, folgt die eigentliche Erklärung:
Our acquisition of Motorola will increase competition by strengthening Google’s patent portfolio, which will enable us to better protect Android from anti-competitive threats from Microsoft, Apple and other companies.
Mit 12.5 Milliarden US-Dollar spricht Google dem Patent-Geschäft zum ersten Mal zählbare Ernsthaftigkeit zu.
(Danke, Micha!)
