Google Buys Motorola Mobility



Google started its week off with the announcement of a big ticket purchase this morning. Motorola Mobility (which has focused all of its new cellular device models on the Android OS) was acquired by the company for $12.5 billion.



Google executives will host a conference call later today to give official comment. Executives from other Android manufacturers (HTC, LG, Samsung, Sony Ericsson) have already made their thoughts public. All are supportive and welcoming of the buyout, praising Google's commitment to "defending" Android, its partners, and the mobile ecosystem.



Motorola Solutions remains in tact as a Public Safety communications vendor.
