Mathew? .....of all the people on ZDNet, I didn't expect you to resort to Tabloid type headlines to blast Google in a 2 1/2 paragraph cheap shot. For trying anything new for only a few months. Especially when it's a company like Google that actually dares to be different.
Unlike some others, that only claim to "Think Different". When all their products cry out CLONE with the same Marine sidewall haircuts, style, color and how they work, on every thing they produce. Just like their fearless leader's generic clothes closets filled with Uniform Military Code of Justice Branded and looking clothing 1984 clonewear!
Nexus One will still be sold. So what's the problem? The product is NOT a failure and there is very little difference to the Desire in other markets. Who cares how you buy it? They had planned to sell through retailers from the start anyway. So they're abandoning a sales technique that didn't work that great. It didn't fail! ..... or YOU wouldn't have bought one!
I had thought all along that the online store was a temporary thing to introduce the product. I never assumed they'd even have it locked into an online store this long in the first place. It's just not like Google to go doggedly after a single plan of attacking the market!
Onward and upward and yes I knew that I'd eventually see them in Walmart or stores in a mall!
