"Google will pay $12.5 billion in cash to acquire cellphone handset maker Motorola Mobility, a move that gives it both hardware to boost its Android mobile OS and a thick portfolio of patents as protection against litigating patent trolls."

My opinion is very mainstream outside NeoMedia's iHub board - this didn't start with Google and Motorola.
