Yesterday, Google announced that it will be dropping its Nexus One Android based smartphone after only 6 months of being on the market. Consumers and developers can still presently buy the phone, but the next batch of phones available is expected to be the last.
The Nexus One was a device praised early on as being an iPhone killer and for the ability for consumers to by the phone unlocked for use on any carrier. Unfortuanately for Google, the fact that the phone was unlocked also meant that the phone had a high asking price. $529 in fact. For the average consumer, this was likely the cause for the Nexus One to never gain wide popularity.
Despite Google dropping this phone, Google is still planning on providing customer support for these users.
