外媒看联想收购摩托罗拉：在美国建立桥头堡
联想今天宣布以29亿美元收购谷歌旗下的摩托罗拉移动。摩托罗拉移动的3500名员工、2000项专利、品牌商标以及与全球50多家运营商的合作关系都将归入联想移动业务集团，由刘军执掌。
收购完成后，谷歌将继续持有摩托罗拉移动的大部分专利组合，包括现有专利申请和发明披露。作为联想和谷歌长期合作关系的一部分，联想将获得相关的专利组合和其他知识产权授权许可证。
路透社、华尔街日报等国外主要媒体纷纷对此发表评论：

这笔交易标志着谷歌生产消费级移动设备的尝试就此夭折，标志着谷歌淡出了公司历史上规模最大的一笔收购。
另一方面，通过收购，联想将在利润丰厚的美国市场建立一个“桥头堡”，与苹果和三星电子竞争，并对抗愈发富有侵略性的中国智能手机厂商。
华尔街日报
除了能够立即提升谷歌的净利润外，出售摩托罗拉移动还会减少谷歌与Android硬件厂商之间可能发生的摩擦。三星电子、联想及摩托罗拉移动自己都在使用这款操作系统。
华盛顿邮报
分析人士指出，谷歌保留了摩托罗拉移动最重要的资产：规模庞大的Android技术专利。它同时表明，随着智能手机销量增长放缓，硅谷巨头开始转移重点，努力把握新的硬件机遇。
《福布斯》杂志
出售摩托罗拉移动并不意味着谷歌没有兴趣生产Android硬件。本月早些时候，谷歌以32亿美元收购智能恒温器厂商Nest，去年还收购了多家机器人制造商。谷歌CEO拉里·佩奇指出，Nest恒温器和Google Glass智能眼镜等智能设备仍是该公司的重点之一。
《连线》杂志
在智能手机领域，谷歌从未“全面进军”；过去几年间，谷歌与大量厂商合作，成功生产众多Android手机。从这一角度来看，这一减少亏损、把关注重点重新转移到Android上的决策时有意义的。
