No Nexus 2 says Google CEO

As per recent discussions between Mr. Eric Schmidt, Google's CEO and The Daily Telegraph, the reports have been confirmed that there will be no Nexus Two coming out in the market anytime.
Nexus One was launched by Google, in association with HTC, to push off Google's open-platform Android computing OS in 2008.
"The idea a year and a half ago was to do the Nexus One to try to move the phone platform hardware business forward. It clearly did," he said.
Android is now activated on 160,000 phones daily, that's almost 5m every month, demonstrating a significant take-up of the operating system and Android app Marketplace. Google has also just announced plans to expand into emerging markets in a bid for a further slice of the mobile market.
With due gentle blow, he turned down any accusations on Apple competing with Google or there being a tug of war between these two market leaders for the share of market, by simply putting forward the fact that they both are into making totally different devices. He dismissed questions about the competition between Google and Apple, calling the two companies' models ‘completely different,' while emphasising the openness of Google's Android platform and ability of individuals to build any business model on top of the free software, describing Apple's platform as ‘the inverse'.
