How Google drove Samsung away
- ZeroGravitas 15y agoStrange how a paragraph from Florian Mueller's blog seems to be getting repeated round the internet as an official Samsung statement. Exhibit A: " “If Samsung truly believed that Google’s takeover of Motorola Mobility was going to be helpful to the entire Android eco-system at large, it would have waited until that deal was closed before concluding the license agreement with Microsoft,” said a Samsung official. “Samsung knows it can’t rely on Google. We’ve decided to address Android IP issues on our own.”" http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/tech/2011/09/133_95716.html http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/tech/2011/09/133_95716.... Exhibit B "If Samsung truly believed that Google's acquisition of Motorola Mobility was going to be helpful to the Android ecosystem at large, it would have waited until that deal is closed before concluding the license agreement with Microsoft. But Samsung probably knows it can't rely on Google. It decided to address Android's intellectual property issues on its own." http://fosspatents.blogspot.com/2011/09/samsung-takes-android-patent-license.html http://fosspatents.blogspot.com/2011/09/samsung-takes-androi...
