Wow! What does this mean for other manufacturers of Android powered handsets now that Google will be a competitor? What of Apple?

Technicaly Google are already a competitor with their Nexus phones.
Personaly i think this is EXCELLENT news both for Google and the Android manufacturers , Motorola are veterans in the industry and have racked up quite a large Patent Portfolio so this is not just good for Google.
I hope its true and hope it happens soon, this could be Google's best decision since they got Android.

Listening to the business channels they are touting the patents that Motorola owns and are saying that that is the main reason Google bought the company. Good move.

A very sound and astute move by Google!
As pointed, patents and solid record of phone making are definitely things that will work in Google's favour.
Now they can make their own cellphones and relying on other makers.
Great move by Google!

Will this be the beginning of a whole raft of acquisitions? Apple Corp might begin splashing some cash of its own.
Who's next to be gobbled up?

For sure this is great for Android as it protects Google from Apples suing spree that they have been on. Three cheers for Android.
Look for other companies to be bought up in a continued patent fight.

It wouldn't surprise me, thats the nature of business. Samsung picking up Sony Ericsson? You would think it would want to acquire
in it's challenge against Apple.
Manufacturers begin to respond:

I think SE may be up for grabs should they post losses now in Q3 and Q4. The final straw would be a loss in Q1 next year.
The patents that Ericsson holds are worth a fortune for any manufacturer who decides to swallow them up.
Another manufacturer that is on that path is Nokia. One is beginning to sort of see that theory that Microsoft was setting Nokia up to fail so that they can buy it dirt cheap. Whether that is true or not remains to be seen but Nokia is really going down badly.
