(8 / 15 U.S. time) $ 12.5B from Google was announced ($ 12.5 billion) in the acquisition of Motorola Mobility, Google will get quite a lot of things. First, 20,000 employees (comparable to the number of employees of the body Google), 24 000 patents to remember the horror and the huge (Incidentally, Motorola has patented a phone itself) it.

Another, however, there are significant assets, such as changing the composition of the entire industry with the acquisition of Google Android obtained. But less than 30% market share in the USA. Toshiba Qosmio F20 Battery
Share of hardware as far as mobile Android, Google remained near zero for years ("Mobile Google" HTC and the Samsung I was in a series called the Nexus.) Google it suddenly jumped to second place in the hardware manufacturing of Android.
Googorola that HTC's share of the top 29% (35%) followed, Samsung in third (25%) exceeded. This figure is not just a research company announced this morning that Localytics mobile market. Battery Lenovo IdeaPad S9
Some possible effects of:
Faster updates Android OS! By entering under Google, increasing pressure for implementing Android phone OS update for Motorola. If the OS update ć—©Mare of Motorola, which in turn will pressure on other manufacturers. Maintaining the current share of Motorola, rouse the OS update by Google (but it should be) then continue, would be equipped with the latest OS, 30 percent of Android phones in the hands of consumers. This is also a nod as soon as possible from other vendors, will have to endeavor to update the OS as often as possible. Become to be known as a manufacturer of slow Otherwise update. Battery HP Compaq 2210b
Custom skins will disappear? Directly involved in the development of Google Android phones to all this is "Google experience" pure was the catch. That is, a straight Android OS, which was customized for each manufacturer by adding or replacing functionality that does not mean it. In contrast, the HTC's Android Sense, UXP if Sony Ericsson, Samsung has been equipped with a custom skin TouchWiz. Motoblur also had a skin of Motorola. Fujitsu FMVNBP178
But recently, Motorola announced it would discontinue development of Motoblur. This reason was found. Google's unwilling to be subjected to customize their phones - it will look like there is something missing So something like Android OS. Moto has a product that sells several models already equipped with BLUR, future models will be "vanilla" and will be Android. Dell Latitude D530 Battery
Time will react to this or any other manufacturer. Android Will they even go back to vanilla expected to respond to consumers? I will continue to strive for differentiation of skin or development? Battery ASUS Eee PC 1005HA
Google is reportedly tend to exaggerate it can suppress the fragmentation often by presenting a typical hardware specifications of Android, the Android is, in fact, there is a fragmentation problem. In particular, a very tricky in terms of development and testing is that I have a awful lot of screen resolution. Googorola there is "gentlemen, we're going beyond a year or so uses only display 800 × 480" story if I declare Yohodo not it easier? Of course, other manufacturers are not obliged to follow it. It may be convenient to follow but as something more. acer al10bw
Google is not interested but I have said for years hardware manufacturing in the race have been entered to accelerate from zero to 100km per hour suddenly (but actually 30 percent from zero, would know what I mean?) While continuing to work hard to sell Android phone makers to market, Google had to spectators from the sidelines - it does not have the hardware to enter the market suddenly became a major platform in place now and then. I would call it an evil movement? Some may be evil. Asus Battery
All in all, however ingenious it. If you can maintain the market share of 30%, Google can be induced to think his way to leverage it to other manufacturers.
