Google Now Owns Motorola, so whats next?
« on: May 23, 2012, 06:45:10 PM »


Google now owns Motorola, its $12+ billion Motorola deal is closed, and Google veteran Dennis Woodside is taking over as Motorola CEO. Although the acquisition opens new territory for the search giant, its most immediate effect could be remaking the existing Android landscape. Will Google use its new arm to pound all competitors, or just Apple?.

Now the fun begins because for a variety of reasons, this has the potential to be Google’s most interesting project yet - says Dan Frommer

Endorsing Dennis for the CEO post, Larry writes "It’s a well known fact that people tend to overestimate the impact technology will have in the short term, but underestimate its significance in the longer term. Many users coming online today may never use a desktop machine, and the impact of that transition will be profound—as will the ability to just tap and pay with your phone. That’s why it’s a great time to be in the mobile business, and why I’m confident Dennis and the team at Motorola will be creating the next generation of mobile devices that will improve lives for years to come"

This acquisition posts a lot of questions as to what exactly Google plans to fight or who .... Apple with an EcoSystem? or the full Andriod Market?

I guess we will just wait to see it evolve ....Do you think Google made the right choice on this?
