It's Official: Google Is Selling Motorola To Lenovo

It's true: Google is really selling Motorola Mobility to Lenovo. We just got the release from Lenovo announcing the $2.91 billion deal.

From the release:


Lenovo's acquisition include the Moto X, the Moto G, and the Droid Ultra series, but Google will be retaining the majority of Motorola's patents. Google only bought Motorola back in August of 2011, so its a very quick and unexpected turnaround. Although when put in the context of the fact that Google will hold onto the intellectual property part of things, this deal makes a little more sense.
