Let the Patents War Begin... (If they really want to)

Till now it seemed that Android was in a dangerous enviroment which has lots of threats from its eco-system.
Well the acquasition of Motorola Mobility is proovinig to be a Gold mine for google in porder to resist the attacks from apple and Microsoft.

THE MOST TALKED ABOUT 18 PATENTS
With the bunch of 17k patents + 7.5K pending patents there come "18" key patents which can be enough for Google to make Apple call its hounds back.

• US patent #5,311,516 – Paging systems using message fragmentation to redistribute traffic
• US patent #5,319,712 – Method and apparatus for providing cryptographic protection of a data stream
• US patent #5,490,230 – Digital speech coder having optimized signal energy parameters
• US patent #5,572,193 –Method for authentication and protection of subscribers in telecommunications systems”
• US patent #6,175,559 – Method for generating preamble sequences in a code division multiple access systems
• US patent #6,359,898 – Method for performing a countdown function during a mobile-originated transfer for a packet radio system
• US patent #5,359,317 – Method and apparatus for selectively storing a portion of a received message in a selective call receiver
• US patent #5,636,223 – Methods of adaptive channel access attempts
• US patent #6,246,697 – Method and system for generating a complex pseudonoise sequence for processing a code division multiple access signal
• US patent #6,246,862 – Sensor controlled user interface for portable communication device
• US patent #6,272,333 – Method and apparatus in a wireless communication system for controlling a delivery of data
• US patent #7,751,826 – System and method for E911 location privacy protection
• US patent #5,710,987 – Receiver having concealed external antenna
• US patent #5,754,119 – Multiple pager status synchronization system and method
• US patent #5,958,006 – Method and apparatus for communicating summarized data
• US patent #6,008,737 – Apparatus for controlling utilization of software added to a portable communication device
• US patent #6,101,531 – System for communicating user-selected criteria filter prepared at wireless client to communication server for filtering data transferred from host to said wireless client
• US patent #6,377,161 – Method and apparatus in a wireless messaging system for facilitating an exchange of address information

For the starters...
One patent from 2001 disables a "touch sensitive" sensor when a smartphone is near a user’s head to prevent inadvertent hang-ups or dialing. Another from 1994 aims to increase data storage, while a third enables users to control when a global positioning system sends their location data over a network.

Well it all looks quite beautiful again for Android...

Google + Motorola = Gotorola ?

2011 has been a big year for Google, full of product announcements and growth. However, few announcements can overshadow yesterday’s news that Google plans to purchase Motorola Mobility for $12.5 billion in cash. We as a developer community can expect lot of good things from this merger. Also

Owning Motorola’s 17,000 issued patents and 7,500 pending patents was one of the major reasons Google announced its acquisition plans for the company.

Lets measure up what all are possibilities of Google + Motorola now.

Rooting and early Updates to Motorola devices

There are more benefits to using the stock version of Android. By choosing to stick tight and use Google’s UI without all of the heavy modification, Motorola could have a big advantage that will draw in geeks of all types. Much like Nexus S owners, Moto owners could be six to nine months ahead of other handset owners when it comes to receiving Android operating system updates, which Google tends to release twice a year. Without a clunky custom user interface and apps to tweak and rework around every new release, Motorola could become the most responsive and iterative handset maker on the market. Those who want to run the latest and greatest Android OS will choose Motorola. I know I would.

Then there’s the issue of changing the bootloader and rooting. Motorola has long had a policy against geeks digging around and tampering with its devices, but Google has a more open policy toward rooting and modifying OS attributes. Chrome OS was built with rooting as an identified feature. We’d love to see a unified Motorola and Google embrace the hacking world. After all, what good is expensive technology if we can’t play with it?

Atrix Laptop Dock gets an Ice Cream Sandwich redesign

We really liked the concept behind the Motorola Atrix and its laptop dock. The concept largely failed in its first go around thanks to a strange custom interface for the laptop that had few to no apps and a horribly expensive price, but there is a future for laptop and smartphone symbiosis, and it’s coming faster than we think. A joined Google and Motorola might be able to explore the concept more effectively (and affordably). Android “Ice Cream Sandwich” will rear its head in the coming months and promises to work on both tablet and smartphones, changing its interface from a Honeycomb-like desktop to a smartphone display on the fly. This OS will naturally lend itself to a smartphone laptop dock like the Atrix had without any of the hassle the Atrix came with. Imagine plugging your smartphone into a dock and instantly using it as a laptop of sorts, complete with a keyboard and an extended battery that actually charges your phone while you use it. 

Google TV 

Since it’s debut in late 2010, Google TV has been so unpopular that returns of the Logitech Revue box are actually outpacing sales, Apple TV is doing quite well and Google is not ready to give up on the TV market yet. The company has been quietly reworking Google TV and will likely relaunch it later this year or early next. 

WITH GREAT POWER COMES GREAT MESS

So owing the company also means that Google has taken ownership of all the law suits against all the list mentioned above.

Now we got to see how is it going to be...
