Google rules the search engine space, people need to look for something on the web, they use GOOG. If people need a phone, Apple and Motorola are known brands in that space. For a company to create a wormhole from one space to another is difficult in a crowded universe where the need to compartmentalize and segment is huge in order to avoid chaos. So, a cognitive disconnect may occur when the powerful but web-based Google brand name/image is seen on a physical item not normally seen in the eyes of the compartmentalizing consumer. It's a matter of trust. I know apple makes awesome gadgets. I know motorola can make a decent phone. Google making hardware? Not sure. It's kinda like Madonna trying her hand at Broadway. How'd that go? I wouldn’t be so sure about Google beating out Motorola or Apple. Google rules the search engine space, people need to look for something on the web, they use GOOG.
