DANGER, Andy Rubin! Danger!!
"Matt Hershenson and Joe Britt, two legendary figures in mobile phone development, have suddenly resurfaced as part of the team building Android. Their hiring signals a big change at Google, showing that the company is getting just as serious about the hardware of phones - and this goes well beyond flip vs. candybar -- as it is the software." Looks like Mr. Rubin is getting his old pals from the Danger days back together to have a little fun with some Android hardware. The pair are already hard at work in the labs at Google, cranking out all kinds of crazy ideas that you and I may one day see in a new Android phone. It will be interesting to see where this is headed and what it means for Google and Android alike. Will be be seeing more Nexus devices in the future? One can only hope.
