Rubin: This is the first product but there will be other products in the store and they will be segmented how you’d expect them to be segmented. There’ll be an enterprise version, a mass market version you know whatever. The Nexus One is the superphone version.
Mossberg: Wait back-up there. Of this particular phone [Nexus One in hand] there’s going to be an enterprise version?
Rubin: In the series of products that are hosted in this online store, yes.
Mossberg: Oh in the program?
Rubin: Yeah in the program there will be different segments.
Andy Rubin made it clear during the 46 minute interview that Google would be working on new Google Android devices would be seeing the light of day in the future, along with all the other companies still popping out Android phones to the carriers worldwide. It’s easy to see that Google wants to make it known that they mean business, and that their market will soon be established. Google isn’t looking to take over, but what they want to do is to create an alternate way to obtain smartphones, as well as promote the Android OS.
As of now, it would seem the Nexus Enterprise is still talk and nothing else. So to all of you who bought and/or plan to get the Nexus One, don’t get all antsy and frustrated that a newer phone is arriving. There’s no date as to when this phone will land, nor what OS it will be carrying. Maybe by the time the Nexus Enterprise comes out we could see it ship with an unseen Android 3.0?
