The Nexus line is officially here to stay.
« on: Thu, 26 June 2014, 22:10:29 »
Anyone else excited about this. Hoping the Nexus 6 comes out in October will be a nice birthday present for me. Enjoying the Nexus 5 until then.

“When we are working, there are sort of two outputs. We’re building a Nexus device and we’re building the open source code. There is no way you can build the open source code without the phone or tablet or whatever you are building. You have to live and breathe the code you are developing.

You can’t build a platform in the abstract, you have to build a device (or devices). So, I don’t think can can or will ever go away. And then, I think Nexus is also interesting in that it is a way of us explaining how we think Android should run. It is a statement, almost a statement of purity in some respects. I don’t see why we would ever turn away from that, it wouldn’t make sense.”

Yeah. If it impresses me more than the Note 3 did, then I'll probably get it. We'll see!

True but I don't bring my desktop with me to work, on the go, etc.

Very glad to hear the Nexus line is sticking around, love my N4. Probably wait till the N6 drops and then get last year's model cheaply like I did with the N4.
It's a good width!  If it's half-width it's too narrow, and full-width is too wide.

Good to hear. Hopefully we won't have to send Rick Deckard after all those rogue Nexus 6 models, though. :))
