As the Inquirer’s Joe DiStefano reported this morning, Google’s newly announced acquisition of Motorola Mobility, an attempt to gain more control over Android device manufacturing (a move that a long-running rumor), includes a Horsham-based Moto plant that manufactures set-top boxes. That’s a play for Google TV, too, in addition to the acquisition of thousands of patents held by Motorola Mobility.
DiStefano says:

Search-engine giant Google is entering the hardware business with its biggest-ever acquisition, joining 20,000 workers at Motorola’s factories, to its current workforce of nearly 30,000. The Horsham business, Motorola Home, accounts for about a third of the company’s annual sales.
