1) Motorola makes good hardware. The main complaint about Motorola phones is the Motoblur skin they put on their phones. Google will probably, hopefully, kill Motoblur and make the interface more Nexus-esque. Ideally they'll be unlocking bootloaders.
2) It gives Google a bunch of patents to use in the smartphone patent wars. It would be much better if you didn't need a pile of frivolous patents to operate in this sector, but Apple and Microsoft don't agree.
