Big Deal. Wake Me When There's An AltaVista Phone
-
Surprise: Google's buying Motorola Mobility, the phone-making spinoff of Motorola. So Google's becoming an electronics manufacturer. This is potentially huge news, and could either be a master stroke, catapulting Google into direct and equal competition with Apple in the phone space or extending Google into a business beyond their expertise (they've failed in selling their "own" phones before). (And, of course, Google's buying patents to protect itself, and that's probably the major driver of the deal anyway) (CNN)
