Supercharging Android: Google to Acquire Motorola
Mobility
8/15/2011 04:35:00 AM
Since its launch in November 2007, Android has not only dramatically increased consumer
choice but also improved the entire mobile experience for users. Today, more than 150
million Android devices have been activated worldwide—with over 550,000 devices now lit
up every day—through a network of about 39 manufacturers and 231 carriers in 123
countries. Given Android’s phenomenal success, we are always looking for new ways to
supercharge the Android ecosystem. That is why I am so excited today to announce that
we have agreed to acquire Motorola.

Motorola has a history of over 80 years of innovation in communications technology and
products, and in the development of intellectual property, which have helped drive the
remarkable revolution in mobile computing we are all enjoying today. Its many industry
milestones include the introduction of the world’s first portable cell phone nearly 30 years
ago, and the StarTAC—the smallest and lightest phone on earth at time of launch. In 2007,
Motorola was a founding member of the Open Handset Alliance that worked to make
Android the first truly open and comprehensive platform for mobile devices. I have loved my
Motorola phones from the StarTAC era up to the current DROIDs.
In 2008, Motorola bet big on Android as the sole operating system across all of its
smartphone devices. It was a smart bet and we’re thrilled at the success they’ve achieved
so far. We believe that their mobile business is on an upward trajectory and poised for
explosive growth.

Motorola is also a market leader in the home devices and video solutions business. With
the transition to Internet Protocol, we are excited to work together with Motorola and the
industry to support our partners and cooperate with them to accelerate innovation in this
space.

crisis response (25)

Motorola’s total commitment to Android in mobile devices is one of many reasons that there
is a natural fit between our two companies. Together, we will create amazing user
experiences that supercharge the entire Android ecosystem for the benefit of consumers,
partners and developers everywhere.

diversity (15)

This acquisition will not change our commitment to run Android as an open platform.
Motorola will remain a licensee of Android and Android will remain open. We will run
Motorola as a separate business. Many hardware partners have contributed to Android’s
success and we look forward to continuing to work with all of them to deliver outstanding
user experiences.

entrepreneurs at Google (8)

We recently explained how companies including Microsoft and Apple are banding together
in anti-competitive patent attacks on Android. The U.S. Department of Justice had to
intervene in the results of one recent patent auction to “protect competition and innovation
in the open source software community” and it is currently looking into the results of the
Nortel auction. Our acquisition of Motorola will increase competition by strengthening
Google’s patent portfolio, which will enable us to better protect Android from anticompetitive threats from Microsoft, Apple and other companies.

Google Apps highlights (36)

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
