Okay once again I'm breaking my own one-week time-off from OSNews due to, you know, taking a break and being too busy with other things, but this one is big - very big. Also, only the
second time in OSNews history we've used the 'breaking'-tag. Google has
just announced it is going to buy Motorola Mobility for $12.5 billion (more
here). While providing Google with a dedicated mobile phone business, it also gives Google ownership of one of the most valuable mobile technology patent portfolios in existence.
Update: Responses from the Android ecosystem are positive. HTC: "We welcome the news of today's acquisition, which demonstrates that Google is deeply committed to defending Android, its partners, and the entire ecosystem." Sony Ericsson & LG: "We welcome Google's commitment to defending Android and its partners."

Everything leaded by the "Apple Magna Cum Laude" John Grubber. Just check his page and see all fanbois tweeting his same idea.
