Google-ola

This MAY be a day we'll all want to remember. Google has announced that they have aquired Motorola Mobile for a mere 12.5 billion USD. That's a lot of money but it could end up being a brilliant investment. Or, it could end up being a disaster!

Google clearly wants to overtake the iFruit company and be THE big boy in software and hardware. They will now have the software platform (Android) and the hardware resources from Motorola to seriously challange the iFruit phones and tablets. Considering how good the Motorola XOOM with Android 3.1 is, Google may have made a wise move.

But, and it's a big but, if they aren't careful this could be a disaster. Overcoming the perception that the iFruit products are much better than everything else on the market is going to be a hard sell. Personally, I hope Google wins this war. I really do prefer 'droids for both tablets and phones and hope others will become true believers with me.
