Google considering selling Motorola handset division to Huawei, rumors indicate


Dennis Berman of the Wall Street Journal recently spent a few weeks working with people inside both Google and Motorola camps trying to figure out what's going to happen in the end. He finds that Google definitely has their work cut out for themselves as they walk the fine line with partners in the Android space. Leaning too far in one direction could alienate other hardware makers. On the other hand, if more companies seek to fork Android and build around it without Google's full suite of apps and support, Google could hedge their bets. If too many players go around Google Play and the traditional Android route, Google could play the hardware game.


Speaking of other hardware makers, rumors out of Asia indicate that Google has approached Huawei and offered to sell the handset division to them. Google, naturally, has denied the claims and we've not heard from Huawei yet.
