When Google tries something new in IT industry, it is sure to catch more than just eyeballs. With the latest update, Google has once again come in lime light for its Motorola Mobility acquisition as U.S. and European regulators have approved the acquisition of the company by the internet giant Google Inc. 

If sources are to be believed the deal between two giants is set to range somewhere at $12.5 billion. 

To rewind: earlier in august 2011, Google, whose Android software is the top operating system for Internet-enabled smart phones has stated that it is planning to buy phone-maker Motorola for its 17,000 patents and 7,500 patent applications. 

It is worth noticing that Google is looking forward to compete with rivals along with defending itself and Android phone manufacturers in patent litigation.

Analysts believe, the latest deal between Google and Motorola will boost Google's competitive edge in the mobile computing arena as well as give search engine’s access to Motorola's range of Android powered offerings. 

Sources informed, the deal is supposed to be beneficial for both the companies and it may cause pressure for other mobile phone makers including HTC and Samsung backing leading Android based devices.

However, the search giant has assured that the deal will not affect how Android is developed, and the operating system will remain open to all.
