Rival manufacturers could make the phones with the Android operating system, feel the pressures from the $ 12.5 billion purchase

Google and Apple are lost in a rematch of the war against Microsoft, Steve Jobs committed two decades ago. They are vying for the dominant operating system for the computer to create the future - our smartphones.

To strengthen his side, Google has a legion of foot soldiers Motorola redirected. Motorolans to come, as Google CEO Larry Page, who presented to them in human form and patent.

Android 's success to launch his biggest rivals in the hope of buying up patents, kill the operating system that is used in almost half the new smartphone will be prompted. The $ 12.5 billion to Motorola injected can be justified mainly by the shield of his considerable intellectual property.

Interestingly, the business-building reasons for the deal. The biggest headache on Android 's horizon isn' t dispute, but the fragmentation. Unlike Apple, Google relies on other companies such as Samsung, HTC and Motorola, of course, to make its phones. It can not precisely control for the user. Able to function for cell phones, their software has to be updated constantly, but to many Android phones this is not done and customers are starting to cotton.

The mini-software downloads, or "apps" that will enable us to find a map or play the Angry Birds game for mobile phone, which records to include the players. It 's little sense without the other.

Unfortunately, older phones can 't always the apps in the Android store. Before Apple and Google came on the market, there were dozens of operating systems and developers were not able to build and market apps that are guaranteed to work. The openness of the Google system to fragmentation, the real problem is created to solve was.

Motorola is a gamble. Google has a chance now to mobile phones as well as Apple 's do, but when rival manufacturers feel pushed aside, they might desert the Android series.
