Android A Bad Deal... For Google
- Zigurd 14y agoPredictable analyst is predictable: Buying Motorola saddled Google with all the pain of a badly run OEM staffed mostly by people Google would not hire. I hope the patents are worth the pain. As for Android, it has had the effect of making Google the leader in mobile ads. Otherwise, might Apple, or Facebook, or Amazon, or Microsoft, or some independent ad network be the leader? And then we would have analysts asking why Google didn't make a phone and own the ecosystem.
