Google quietly kills its once-hyped Nexus One phone

Not quite sure with the small amount of phones Google sold if this will really make a difference.. I'm not sure if it even made it to Canada.. :ninja

I have that phone

In this fast-paced, high-tech world, businesses do better if they specialize and stick to what they're good at. Competition is tough.

 

[itsmeJonB]

are you implying Google's phones are unsuccessful?

 

[BornReady]

I'm not a good judge of that. I don't even have a cell phone. But I think Google is probably better off staying out of the cell phone market. Just my opinion.

 

[itsmeJonB]

They have the only phones that compete with the iphone. i think they have gotten a good hold of the market. in the article it clearly states that although the nexus one wasnt marketed well, the Droid and the upcoming Droid X are top sellers with a strong following

 

[BornReady]

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised at all if Android surpassed iOS in the near future.

The Droid and Droid X are Motorola phones. :unsure:

and Nexus One is an HTC phone.
The OS is still Android on both phones though, made by Google

Oh I see how this works.

and one nice thing about Android is it's open-source, unlike iOS

Symbian beats them all

Ah well they'll just have to be happy with being on WWE Monday Night Raw.

(you'll only get this of you watch wrestling)

I have an HTC, but, it is on Windows. Quite convenient.
