Google to Acquire Motorola Mobility

Why Google is paying billions of company Motorola's mobile devices? To get the patent?

Google to Acquire Motorola Mobility. CEO Larry Page, Google's blog announced that the company will purchase the Motorola Mobility - part of Motorola that manufactures instruments Tzrcniiim, 12 and a half billion dollars, a value of $ 40 per share. Motorola, which stood in 2008 to the possibility of disappearing from the market after a series of setbacks, has been streamlined in two ways. The first was splitting the company into two - one dealing with consumer equipment (phones, tablets), and other organizations, networks and equipment. The second step, which is considered quite risky bet, would focus on Android operating system from Google. All these devices since the company created the operating system users, and only her. This gamble paid off. Motorola managed to return to the market with devices like Milestone flag, and a series of Android phones cheaper. This year the company won praise when he introduced the Atrix - an innovative device that displays a flag can connect it to the chassis that makes the phone laptop. Secretary Paige that the stakes in his statement, as one of the advantages of Motorola. Along with the announcement of the acquisition, Google promises that Paige was not going to abandon its partnership Android. He said Google run the Motorola as a separate unit, and it will not affect its partnerships with other hardware manufacturers like Samsung and HTC. This purchase may be several reasons. The first of these is the competition. Apple manufactures both mobile devices and the operating system. Microsoft, for its part, has signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Nokia, and only Google has a very touching limited hardware devices. This is reflected in a series of Nexus - devices that are the result of close collaboration between Google and hardware manufacturer, or purports to be a new version of the Android OS. Google previously used Samsung and HTC phone Nexus, and rumors have suggested that Motorola is working on a tablet Nexus will feature next version of Android. Another is Google's desire to take over the vast reservoir of Motorola's patents. In recent years, patent war flared between phone manufacturers, demanding each other to get licensing fees. Previously argued that Microsoft, for example, trying to produce like that "price tag" Android free, and even successful - many Android phones manufacturers actually pay Microsoft to use - so-called patents. If Google would be broad enough patent pool, it might prevent her rivals to use those tricks. As evidence, last month Microsoft and Apple got together one group to acquire Nortel's patents, and prevent Google won. A third possible reason is the completion of a foothold in the cellular market. Google already has almost everything you need to dominate any part of the field. Operating system - have, Android. Package of services - also have, Google has launched a year ago the Google Voice Package, which allows Lhmstmshim U.S. create a virtual number, forwarding calls to other numbers, and out through talks. Are free within the U.S., and very cheap when it comes to international call. We note also that the mechanism of the talks was launched in Israel two weeks ago, but the mechanism numbers yet.
