Tonight big news is GOOG buying MMI (Motorola) to step up the competition in the phone business.

I think right now, it has little effect on AAPL but I think GOOG realizes that they can't make much money by not
owning any hardware. AAPL has a HUGE profit margin by owning the hardware and software.

The questions will remain later what happens to other hardware maker like Samsung, HTC, LG, etc

Also, NOK and RIMM are in serious trouble. Perhaps MSFT will buy one of them.
