It is worth noting this is the handset manufacturing part of Motorola. Google's first foray into consumer electronics? That's big news. Phones and tablets. They are now competing directly in Apple's space. Full control over the handset stack? (Did Samsung really push back that much on newer "GooglePhone" design?) Or access to patents? It's not really clear. However they do buy themselves a worldwide R&D facility.
