Google, the leading online resource provider has started concentrating more on increasing its market and to spread on social space. Google has taken necessary steps in maintaining and providing all its services linked with its social asset, Google Plus. This is not the only thing has been taken into consideration by Google, but they have also started recreating the Android Market, now called as Google Play and it seeks for some cushion for quality and trust in the market. The market has been hit badly as consumers have shown interest in just downloading free programs, which Google is trying to overcome. So, to restructure the market, Google renamed it as Google Play that has drawn a lot of customer towards it, just like Google search and Gmail.
This Google Play label has been made available as a tool on the top of Google search page with a red ‘New’ label attached to it, with an idea to draw more people towards its market for buying programs. Earlier, Google had made a mistake by allowing all the users to post any app that could also include some trash apps. In case of Apple, they have just kept the order as same as it appears on the Apple Store, which confirms the flow of large movement of customer using quality applications. On the other side, Google Play has to cross a lot of barriers in reaching customers which had come to the mind of Google in making a name change.
However, it is clearly visible that Google has consolidated movies, music, books, audio and other digital goods on Google Play. This is done with the idea to cross-sell all the products for people visiting the Android application market. The output of these changes is still in the bank as it will take time for it to burst out in the later stages when they start satisfying customer needs.
Google plays a fair game using Google Play
Google Inc all set to buy Motorola Mobility
MOUNTAIN VIEW, California, USA – Google Inc. will buy the mobile phone maker Motorola Mobility for 12,500 million dollars in cash, which is so far the largest acquisition by the company.
The purchase is a sign that the online search leader is serious about its plans for expansion beyond its core Internet business and want to settle in the fast growing mobile market
Google will pay $ 40 per share, a premium of 63% over the closing price of Motorola Mobility Friday.
The Google Android operating system works on phones that compete with the iPhone, BlackBerry and Windows mobile devices.
Motorola Mobility was separated from the rest of Motorola in January. The company refocused as a manufacturer of phones with Android interface, but has struggled to compete with Apple Inc. and Asian manufacturers of smart phones.
The total commitment to Motorola’s Android Mobility has created a natural fit for our two companies. Larry Page the CEO of Google said in a statement. “Together, we will create incredible experiences for the user and will boost the potential of all the Android ecosystem for the benefit of consumers, partners and developers,.
The agreement has been approved by the boards of both companies.
It is expected to close later this year or early 2012, but the deal may face scrutiny from regulators. Google, which purchased DoubleClick for U.S. $ 3,200 million in 2008, took almost an year to get approval from the authorities.
What Google probably wants to acquire is the virtual treasure that Motorola Mobility has, possessing more than 17,000 patents on cell phone technology.
Google just lost to a bidding race that included Microsoft Corp., Apple and Research In Motion Ltd. in the bidding for thousands of patents from Novell Inc., a maker of networking software, and Nortel Networks, a Canadian manufacturer of telecommunications equipment.
Motorola has about three times more patents than Nortel.
Shares of Motorola Mobility rose by $ 14.72 where as the Shares of Google, fell by $ 14.68.
