The recent acquisition by Google of Motorolla Mobile has been questioned by many people as a very dubious piece of business.\u00a0 In justifying the acquisition of the mobile handset making division of Motorolla, Larry Page, Googles co-founder and CEO said: “Motorola has a history of over 80 years of innovation in communications technology and products, and in the development of intellectual property, which have helped drive the remarkable revolution in mobile computing we are all enjoying today. Its many industry milestones include the introduction of the world’s first portable cellphone nearly 30 years ago, and the StarTAC \u2013 the smallest and lightest phone on Earth at time of launch.” All of which is true, but is also ancient history. He went on to point out that Motorola had bet its ranch on Google’s Android<\/a> operating system for mobile devices and that this implied “a natural fit between our two companies. Together, we will create amazing user experiences that supercharge the entire Android ecosystem for the benefit of consumers, partners and developers everywhere.”<\/p>\n
