When Google bought Motorola Mobility, it was an obvious attempt to not only revive the company's business, but for Google to enter the hardware manufacturing business itself.

The holiday shopping season is undoubtedly one of the most lucrative period for any company. Consumers who are usually very stringent with the way they spend their hard-earned cash generally loosen the purse strings a little at this time of year and grab the latest piece of technology either for themselves or a loved one.
