Uh, google bought Motorola and this Will soon allow them to defend android against Microsoft and apple. The manufacturers currently pay msft about $5 for every smartphone bc msft collects patent royalties. When google can put a stop to this, it will reassure the manufacturers and let them make more money. The deal will also let google make things like set top boxes, to further their googleTV effort. As far as msft goes, I'm not saying that this will be the begininning of the end for them, but it will definitely make things even harder for their mobile business moving forward. The only question mark is if google can streamline Motorola some so that it would make some profit.
