Google has agreed to acquire Motorola Mobility, the cellphone maker, for $12.5 billion. The acquisition is the company's largest, and would turn Google, which makes the Android mobile operating system, into a full-fledged cellphone manufacturer in direct competition with Apple.

Google said that Android, which the company gives away to cellphone manufacturers, would continue to remain an open system, but that Google would also become a competitor to those partners, like Samsung and HTC.
