Ask HN: Your thoughts on Google's purchase of Motorola?

I thought Motorola were dead and gone. Seems that they've been given a major lifeline here.

Looking through the comments on each of the two HN stories about this, should probably give you an idea of what people on HN think of the purchase. :)

Mostly confused. I don't really see the point of the purchase. Are they planing on protecting their android partners like HTC and Samsung? Now that the hard part is done (brand building), are they going to consume the market by having their own internal projects release before everyone else and be the best supported? Is there going to be a HTC\Samsung\LG etc. fork of Android?
