I am sure I am part of the minority on HN involved in the enterprise market, but I am intrigued by what Lenovo's plans might be for Motorola. With their already established relationships and customer base, Lenovo should have a much easier time selling their hardware than Google did. At the very least, this move might be the final death knell for Blackberry.

I have a related suspicion ... that Google made the deal in part because they believe Lenovo will run Motorola well, with goals compatible to Google and Android.
I don't think Google was ever into Motorola to make it pay. They were there for strategy, and Lenovo can do that too.
(Don't forget that Lenovo just bought IBM's x86 server business, and so is "going big.")
