In an apparent slap at Apple & it's constant lawsuits over patents, Google has bought motorola's cell phone business. Hmmm. Think Steve Jobs saw this coming? Apple has been blatantly trying to sue Google out of mobile with lawsuits against Android & it's manufacturers like HTC.
Hypocritically, both Apple & Microsoft bought 6,000 patents from Nortel last month. It was an obvious attempt to control the business. Now Google fires back with this deal, which follows their purchase of 1000 IBM patents. Word to Apple: Google isn't a small timer, they will fight back. And oh, BTW: Motorola owns 17,000 patents. I wonder if Apple is infringing on a bunch of those?
This also comes on the heels of Nokia making a deal with Microsoft in an attempt to stem the collapse of it's phone business, although how many people actually want a phone using Windows Phone 7 instead of Android is questionable. I expect Apple will respond to this news fairly soon.
