No wonder all the quotes look so alike and are no doubt fed by Google PR. They are not telling how they _really_ feel about this.

This is like Microsoft buying Dell in the early nineties. You think HP, Acer, Compaq, Gateway etc. would have been amused by that?

This is like Microsoft buying DEC in the early 90s (which, ironically, they might have had to do over IP issues related to Windows NT if the post-Olsen DEC leadership had had any guts). Motorola isn't successful enough with Android to be considered Dell.

They have been pushing a whole bunch of phones, a 15% cut of the entire US market is a huge number of phones.
