Informationweek published a story that Nokia believes device makers like HTC and Samsung may ditch Android over favoritism concerns.
The company was reacting to Google's announcement Monday that it reached a deal to acquire Motorola Mobility, which makes smartphone handsets, tablets, and TV set-top boxes, for $12.5 billion in cash. The acquisition would give Google the ability to produce complete mobile systems that, as CEO Larry Page said in a blog post, yield "amazing user experiences that supercharge the entire Android ecosystem."Nokia Says Google-Motorola Deal Helps Windows Phone
Page also said Motorola's rich patent portfolio would help it fend off lawsuits from rivals Apple and Google--a fact some analysts believe is the main motivation behind the deal.
