Wow! It seems like just yesterday I was coddling and hugging my #RAZR! How fast you grew up! And look at the dowry provided – 17,000 patents with 7,000 pending! (That is the equivalent to over 100 goats, 52 sheep, and an Australian Shepherd – in many cultures!) 62% premium on stock value! WOWZA!
Regardless, a sister company couldn’t ask for more from a siblings marriage. Google will provide Motorola Mobility deep resources, an almost Apple like – “Walled Garden”, and Google will gain a great mobile portfolio that will fend off the patent gremlins for sometime to come…
So what about those that Google has also been “dating” – Samsung, HTC, etc… They did NOT get a rose this morning! I would suggest a good relationship counselor – and then I’d book flights to Redmond, WA. I am certain that Mr. Balmer has never really gotten over either of you!
With this one nuptial – the entire mobility industry has changed – and there’s so much more to come! Again, best to you Motorola Mobility – I wish you, your technology, and your employee’s – the very best! (P.S. – Are you tying the knot in Vegas – or will this be another “Royal” wedding?)
