Schmidt promises that Google will not "spoil" Android

When asked if the purchase of Motorola Mobility represent any change of course in the philosophy of the open Android or the company would have some kind of special treatment the ex-Google CEO Eric Schmidt, said that nothing will change. During an interview with Bloomberg news network executive said, among other things, that will not "spoil" Android.

"The ecosystem of Android is our number one priority and we will not do anything with Motorola or any other company ruin the dynamic of this industry. We need strong and stiff competition among all suppliers Android. We will not be favorites in the future and people need not worry about it, "the executive said in an interview.

Schmidt also said that the 17 000 patents that Motorola should have come with the "end" with the fierce legal battles that have been taking place between the technology giants because of alleged intellectual property embedded in their mobile devices.

Now the question is whether the statement will calm some of the spirits market, which saw the creation of Googlorola with suspicion since it was announced. At the announcement of the purchase, analyst Michael Gartenberg, Gartner, said the situation was a "nightmare" for the other companies that produce devices with the platform.
