That was...unexpected

[andrewducker]

Google
just bought Motorola Mobility (what used to be the bit of Motorola
that made phones).

No idea what that means for Android, the market, etc.

I wish they'd done that just _before_ I posted my poll rather
than half an hour later...

The New Yorker says patent trolling, and I'm pretty sure that's why, Moto were going to sue a bunch of other Android manufacturers, if Google owns their patents, then that makes Android a lot more secure.

Bloody patent wars. I had a link open, but the session is dead, for some reason Fx is crashing on me a lot when I go to Blogger powered blogs, very weird.

Yeah, the official blog post also says patents.

Stupid software patents.
