>To those who predicted that Android would be sued to death because Google has fewer patents than competitors: Google's recent purchase of what used to be Motorola's mobile devices division includes tens of thousands of relevant patents, including one on the mobile phone itself. ;-)

>Publicly Samsung, HTC and others seem pleased about the purchase rather than dismayed that Google is suddenly a competitor. Presumably this is because they are confident that they can continue to compete using the quality of their devices. Others point to Apple who has made gazillions using this model from day 1 for mobile devices or Microsoft's relationship with Nokia that seemed to cause a lot more concern than Google's purchase.

Maybe Google will sell what it just bought minus the patents, which is probably it's main interest.
