I've been thinking about the secondary application of the Motorola Mobility acquisition. I remember reading a while back about Google's planned to cover data on g1. I concluded the possibility of Google introducing a new enhanced VOIP protocol. I dream of the day data only plans and software that is reliable to make data calls with consistency and clarity. Now that they own patents for strengthening data connections. Only thing left for them would to buy a carrier; possibility majority stake in T Mobile USA. They have their own phone OEM; patents for improved data and their nexus line.

Google i/o cannot come soon enough. Despite not being able to go and despite not being one of the lucky recipients of the Google Goods, I look forward to the innovations and the announcements.

Google's Logic : steal from Apple/Microsoft then buy patents for protection, smart eh?

you mention that google steals...
Look at china - what do you think the government does there with their hackers trying to infiltrate other government's properties and personal cell phones?
Why do you think ZTE and other chinese companies are not fullly trusted by our government to manage a network as sprint tried to do?
What do you think APPLE does?
Look at what they do in an attempt to control people, or at least those that are weak-minded. Now look at the Chinese government and the way they control the internet in their country.
Lots of similarities....
You want to post crap - fine - be careful, as the monkeys will fling it right back at you...lol
