Has Google's proposed acquisition of Moto changed your feelings about the Bionic?

[nlinecomputers]

IF allowed to happen, it could take over a year for Google to legally purchase Moto. I can't see this having any effect on how Moto plans to operate. If Bionic is suppose to hit the shelves in two weeks then the product is allready in the channel being moved to stores and warehouses. It will be two to three phones down the line before any Google influence hits. Assuming they change anything at all.

This makes me glad I got the Droid 3.
Now I'll probably get ICS faster, and they'll probably the Bionic/3 bootloader.

This makes me think twice is its worth upgrading to the Prime.

Did anyone else notice most of motos new phones having a ti-omap processor, and Google's processor partner for ICS is ti-omap? Better... software/hardware/whatever integration in the bionic?

Yes, I noticed and I always found it a little strange that TI was meeting with Google instead actual phone manufacturers. Although I felt Motorola was doing about the best they could with "available" SoC's, I had wished that Motorola had the clout to get TI to produce SoC's superior/faster than Apple was getting them done. While I think that OMAP SoC's are very good I felt that they could beef up the GPU portion(like Apple's SoCs). I was hoping that by TI meeting with Google that they might start producing SoC's that would be optimized to run Android flawlessly.

With Google, Motorola and TI all on the same page things could start to get exciting!

I agree that its too late for the Bionic to see any physical benefits but I can see where it might get a preference when it comes to updates.
I also agree that it will be a few phones down the line before we see Google's influence which is why I don't want to keep waiting for the the next device "coming" with better specs. I can wait a few weeks but I'm not waiting months so either the Bionic or maybe the SG2 if its 4g will suffice until my next upgrade when a sweet Google/Motorola device is available.
