Google To Acquire Motorola Mobility For $12.5 billion , Next please

August 15, 2011 in News

zacharye writes “Google and Motorola Mobility have announced an agreement whereby Google will acquire Motorola for $12.5 billion. The acquisition price equates to $40 per share of Motorola stock, or a premium of 63% over Friday’s closing price. The move is considered to be an effort that will better-align Google to compete with Apple’s iPhone, which currently owns two-thirds of profits among the world’s top-8 smartphone vendors…” That’s one way to stop royalty payments.

And here we have the PS3 controller being used on the Motorola Xoom.

Write your congressman. Write your developer. And let’s get this done.
