Google Nexus One: End of an Era



Google has finally decided, that it has no plans for a Google Nexus Two. After the massive response that the Android Platform has been receiving, Google wants to focus on the software, doing away with the hardware. The reason Google can afford to do this is because of the demand for Android as a platform. With Motorolla,HTC, Samsung, LG, Sony Ericsson and all the biggies focussing on Android, Google could not  have been happier.

This was confirmed by Google's Eric Schmidt himself, in an online interview :

" The idea a year and a half ago was to do the Nexus One to try to move the phone platform hardware business forward.It clearly did. It was so successful.,we didn't have to do a second one.

I called up the board and said :OK, it worked. Congratulations - we're stopping. "


The Nexus One Advantage

Without a doubt, with the recent success of the Samsung Galaxy S, and the HTC Desire, there certainly are better alternatives to the Google Nexus One. However, one major advantage with the original Google Phone, is that all the major system updates ( which has become Android's habit of improvising every 6 months), can be installed on the Nexus One, on the same day itself, which in the case of other manufacturers ( HTC, Samsung etc..), one has to wait for ages, till they can be fortunate to "officially" update their hand-helds.

Finally, a tribute to "the legend" by showing it launch video
