The past is not an indicator of what might happen in the future, but it does cut it pretty close. We do know that Google did cozy up to select partners early access to future versions of the Android operating system in order for them to come up with a kind of flagship smartphone or tablet, as and when the situation calls for it. Well, history has shown that Google did work with just a single company at any one time, ranging from the HTC Nexus One to the Samsung Galaxy S and all the way to the Samsung Galaxy Nexus smartphones, not to mention the Motorola XOOM tablet. The Wall Street Journal claims that this might soon change down the road, and Google might just look into working with up to 5 different partners simultaneously, so that has a very strong possibility of working out to our advantage, since we might end up with a handful of several Nexus branded devices to choose from at once. Even more interesting is the possibility of Google making available those products straight on the Google Play Store itself. What do you think of this unconfirmed bit of news?
