And part of the acquisition - Sanjay Jha is GONE. Maybe now we stand a fighting chance. I'm gonna give it a week or two & then OPMOSH will restart.

I really hope this means good things for us and a more open system is ahead.

My guess is Google will keep the patents and sell the moto brand.

I've learned 1 good thing from owning a Motorola phone.
Expect the worst, hope for the best.
I'm expecting nothing to change at all.

Does this mean no blur on future moto phones? Quite possibly? Maybe a little true? Small hope for that? Peed my pants? Unlocked bootloaders? Holographic devices?

If they unlock the bootloaders so our devs can make awesome roms to flash, they can throw all the blur on that they want. lol

Google's chairman Eric Schmidt has outlined Big G's plans for the Motorola brand.
Speaking at Google's Big Tent conference, he said that this was Google's realisation of an ambition to start mixing it with handset providers:
"As you know, we announced it last August. We wanted a stake in a hardware business. We closed this morning in Chicago - that's around right now, so we're going to meet with the staff. "
There were rumours that the acquisition was simply Google's method of getting its hands on oodles of patents in the current litigation war going on between handset manufacturers and that
Moto now, Moto forever
Schmidt has now stated that this will not be the case, with the search giant having big plans for the brand, which will continue under the Moto name:
"As part of that we're going to announce the things we're going to do but for your purposes there will be more investment in Motorola devices under the Motorola brand and a lot more investment in Android."
So hopefully this will be the end of the terrible fragmentation that Motorola devices have suffered – many Moto phones are still running last generation Android versions, so it seems that's going to change in the very near future.

I certainly hope El Goog puts Moto to good use, i.e. more up-to-date hardware specs paired with faster software refreshes. But here in the US, VZW and AT&T will probably ruin any chance of that.

Sadly they are more likely to let Moto keep running themselves for the most part. This was primarily done to get their hand on one of the most powerful and most advanced set of patents any company in the world held. They are now at the forefront of both hardware and software development for the world. This does make future development of some insane Nexus phones, standard computer platforms, and whole new formats we are not do familiar with much more likely.
