More input? Sigh. That's not actually what he said. "We'll put more thought into our Nexus devices going forward." ... "We could be more opinionated about the design of the phones."

I dunno why Mossberg (and others) have such a hard-on for Google to "make its own phones." What does that mean? How is that ANY different than contracting out someone to essentially ODM it?

There's this dream where some want Google to be like Apple.

They don't need to. I like choice.

Be together. Not the same.

Google already did that anyway when it owned Moto. That wasn't a profitable venture.
