So basically Google has acquired Motorala because they want to strengthen Android and build up a better patent portfolio. Funny how they don't mention users, better mobile experiences, etc all that much. I'm surprised how frank Larry Page is in his blogpost http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2011/08/supercharging-android...

I am not sure if Apple would ever be caught admitting that any of their products suck. They will always sell stuff in a more positive way (I mean they won't say "our product x sucked, this is what we do to make it better"). Why should Google do it differently.

Didn't Steve Jobs say Mobile Me sucked at WWDC 2011?

Years after the fact that it sucked became apparent.

What good would it do to trash MobileMe publicly before a suitable replacement was imminent?
