This acquisition really has nothing to do with making Google-branded Android phones, and everything to do with acquiring a huge patent portfolio to defend against Android-related lawsuits. I predict that there will not really be much change in Google's or Motorola's device offerings and that other manufacturers will actually feel better post-acquisition, because now they will be further-protected by Google's patent portfolio.
