Google insists that Motorola will not receive "favoured status" if it acquires the company. The company quotes Andy Rubin, the head of the Android division, who in the analyst call for the acquisition in August, said: "we have a Nexus program and we have this lead device strategy. That strategy has worked quite well to help focus the team. What we do is we select each - around Christmas time of each year, we select a manufacturer that we work very closely with to release a device in that timeframe. That includes also semiconductor companies and all the components that go in the device. And essentially, our teams huddle together in one building. They jointly work in these development efforts. They go on for 9 to 12 months, and ultimately, at the holiday season or right before it, devices pop out that are based on this effort."
