Google mobile head says Nexus One too ambitious


SAN FRANCISCO: The head of Google’s Android mobile operating software says the search company “bit off a little more than we could chew” with the sale of the Nexus One, a smartphone Google began selling online early this year but then stopped offering after similar devices powered by Android hit the market.

Speaking at the D: Dive Into Mobile technology conference run by the tech blog AllThingsD, Andy Rubin said that Google Inc figured that it could sell the phone over the Web and people would buy it as they already do electronics like digital cameras.
