With Motorola Deal, Google Sees Future in Mobile Markets

At New York Times, "Google’s Big Bet on the Mobile Future."

Also at Wall Street Journal, "Google's $12.5 Billion Gamble: Web Giant Pays Big for Motorola's Phone Business, Patents; Risks Alienating Allies."

And from Google's Larry Page, "Supercharging Android: Google to Acquire Motorola Mobility" (via Techmeme).

This seems like so much déjà vu. It's like the beginning of the end of Google as something cool.
