Seoul: The executive chairman of Google Inc on Tuesday played down concerns that the search giant would give preferential treatment to Motorola Mobility Holdings after its planned purchase of the firm, saying the deal would not violate the openness of its Android operating system.

Google Inc said in August it would buy the phone hardware maker for $12.5 billion in cash to bolster the adoption of its Android mobile software. Reuters
