[Q] Who thinks there will be a pattern with the nexus line?

---

Well who here ever watched avatar the last airbender (not the movie, but the cartoon ) Well its just a idea that popped in my head. So if the nexus one was first made by htc, then jumps to samsung... maybe it will be then made by motorola, lg, nokia.... or just "MAJOR" phone makers.

So what exactly is the pattern ??
Right now Samsung has the best technology: CPU and display, they also have the capability to manufacture large number of units. So the pattern here (if there is one) is that Google is choosing the most capable manufacturer with the best technology at the time.

I don't know if there actually is a pattern. Like I said, it was just an idea.

I think Google is rewarding those hardware partners that are heavily investing in Android. First HTC, who made Android consumer adoption what it is today. Now Samsung, who launched the second wave of consumer attention towards Android with their broad spectrum of Galaxy phones (and a tablet). Simple as that.

Perhaps there will be a new Nexus every year.

"Nexus", as Google said, is (now) a label indicating Pure Android Experience. So basically, it'll probably be an "approved by Google", developer-friendly, technologically sound (though maybe not always latest tech) "line" of products from multiple manufacturers, but all under the same "tagline" indicating corporate non-intrusiveness and Google thumbs-uppage.

Probably one for every new version of android that seems to be the trend so far

Nexus one isn't even a year old

I just wish google could call representatives from HTC, Samsung, LG, Motorola etc. get them around a table and say "OK, now who has the best screen ? Who produces the best batteries ? Who can make the best case ?" and so on, and build a google phone with the best feature of each brand.

Next Andy Rubin will ask Nokia to make Nexus bcos Nokia has largest market outside US :P

All these manufacturers are part of the Open Handset Alliance. I'm pretty sure Google is just going turn by turn. The fact that the next Nexus device is mostly going to be the Motorola Everest tablet that Andy Rubin showed off is proof of that.

For all you know, the next Nexus phone will be made by either ASUS, Acer, Sony Ericsson, Motorola, LG or Dell.
