Google-Motorola Deal Rattles the Competition

[ECTNews]

 The deal Google announced Monday -- to acquire Motorola Mobility for $12.5 billion -- is a stunning seismic event in the already-heated mobile device and operating system market. Google's Android OS has been on a tear lately, rivaling Apple for the moniker of coolest smartphone system. Now what? Will Motorola competitors desert Android? Will there be a rush to Microsoft's Windows Phone 7 as an alternative? Or, will things go pretty much the same, with Samsung, LG and Sony happily producing Android phones for years to come? Ah, sure.
