    It is really weird, all replies are almost the same. I am not comfortable with the purchase, but Moto phones were going all the way down anyway, this may be good for them.

    “Read the statement on the teleprompter, and nobody has to get hurt (for now).”

    I think it’s less, “We welcome…” and more, “Oh! Thank God!! Google is doing something to defend Android… without Android, we’ve go nothin’. Design our own OS? LOL-Wut? We can barely make the hardware to run an OS!!!”

    Wow, Google pulled a Microsoft and dumped tons of money in a sinking ship.  I can see the new promotion, “Create a new gmail account and get a free Droid!!!”  It also makes me think of the Zune.
