Google to Acquire Motorola

Larry Page the Google CEO announced that they will acquire Motorola on 15 AUG 2011.  This is due to the success story behind Motorola strong foundation and innovation driven strategy.  

However the acquisition will not change Android and Motorola.  Motorola will be under a separate business and still maintained as the licensee of Android.  Android will continue to be an open platform and Google will look forward to work with hardware partners that have contributed to Android's success.

The combination of Google and Motorola will not only supercharge Android, but will also enhance competition and offer consumers accelerating innovation, greater choice, and wonderful user experiences. I am confident that these great experiences will create huge value for shareholders.

I look forward to welcoming Motorolans to our family of Googlers.

It has front 2MP and rear facing 5 MP camera, a camcoder with Adobe Flash Player mounted on an 10.1 inches widescreen HD display.  

Motorola Xoom is the first tablet running with Honeycomb.  Way much better than Samsung Tablet with Android Froyo.  Google has tweaked the interface giving tab browsing capability, comparable with a small monitor PC with flash enabled.  It is equipped with mini USB and HDMI-port along with Wifi and 3G connectivity.  I bet what would the iPad boss feels when this ultra sensation hits town right after Valentine.  It will be Xoom fever all over.  Maybe BlackBerry Playbook can cure this sickness?
