Despite the leaks that pointed to a Google Nexus Two, the Mountain View company says that there will be no continuation of the Nexus One. The information comes from Eric Schmidt, president and CEO of Google, who offered a magazine to the Telegraph.co.uk newspaper. In it, in addition to declaring that they do not intend to "bring down" Apple and that their strategy was "completely different", he clarifies that a year and a half ago the idea was to get Nexus One to drive the Android platform.
Schmidt assures that the initiative was a success, to the point that now they do not have to repeat the experience. He points out that they should take it as something positive, but that they received a lot of criticism and the management team decided to stop the project.
However, Schmidt does not see the change of direction as something negative, but as an inherent value of Google, which he describes as " flexible ". And for the CEO of the Californian firm, flexibility is one of the virtues of his company. Regarding its operating system for computers, it clarified that there are currently at least two hardware manufacturing partners willing to equip their products with specific features of Chrome.
The eternal commercial rival to beat, Apple, came to light during the meeting. Schmidt, on the subject of the iPad, commented that they did not think "react" to its appearance. “The difference between Apple and Google is easy to understand. They are completely different. Google's strategy is open. In essence, you can access the software (it's free) and add any kind of application, or design a business plan or hardware. Apple is the reverse ”. The Google executive sentenced with the phrase “we try to do something different from Appleand the good news is that Apple makes it very easy. " More clear…
Google Nexus One appeared at the beginning of the year and, from the beginning, it had several difficulties. One of them was related to access to 3G networks, although the ultimate responsibility fell on the operator T-Mobile and not on the manufacturer, HTC, or on Google itself. However, despite the low sales figures, Nexus One is considered a success. Its first task according to several analysts and Google was to spread the Android operating system among programmers, a goal that seems to have been achieved. For quite some time it has targeted Motorolalike the maker of Nexus Two, but judging from Eric Schmidt's words, it doesn't look like it's going to materialize. However, we will always have the illusion of everything that the hypothetical Motorola Shadow has to offer.
