Today Google’s chief executive, Larry Page, announced that they have closed the deal on  their purchase of Motorola Mobility. Larry Page further wrote with explaining Google’s decision to enter the mobile business, “many users coming online today may never use a desktop machine, and the effect of that transition will be profound–as will the ability to just tap and pay with your phone. That’s why it’s a great time to be in the mobile business”.

He also went on to declare that current CEO, Sanjay Jha, will be stepping down from his position and thanked him for his efforts for “building the company and placing that big bet on Android”. He will be succeeded by “long time Googler Dennis Woodside” who according to Page helped increase their revenue in the U.S. from $10.8 billion to $17.5 billion in under three years as President of the Americas region.

This deal helps Google, push the web company to better compete with Apple’s iPhone and gain more clout for its Android software as it expands in the hardware business. It also gives Google, the worlds’ biggest maker of smartphone software, 17,000 patents to protect Android devices in legal disputes against competitors.
