I added a footnote about Motorola. I think it was simply a screwup. http://stratechery.com/2013/understanding-google/#footnote_1_448 …
@chrismlacy same reason they don't want anyone dominating phones

@monkbent also, I don't know why you keep going on about Android 'pivoting'. Exactly how did they pivot? -
@chrismlacy did I use the word "pivot"? I don't think they're pivoting; rather, deemphasizing. Of course they love the data. -
@monkbent "When the iPhone arrived in 2007, Google quickly pivoted Android to defuse the new threat." http://stratechery.com/2013/the-android-detour/ … -
@chrismlacy And I would classify moving focus from Windows Mobile to the iPhone as a pivot. Not sure how that is "going on and on" -
@monkbent I read 'pivot' in 2 of your articles, but I just realized it was the same line both times. That's why I said 'on and on'.
