Google sent
shockwaves through the tech community today when it announced that Andy
Rubin was out as Android chief. Chrome's Sundar Pichai will oversee the
mobile platform in his stead. Here's what CEO Larry Page said about the
move:
Having exceeded even the
crazy ambitious goals we dreamed of for Android — and with a really
strong leadership team in place — Andy’s decided it’s time to hand over
the reins and start a new chapter at Google. [The Official Google Blog]
The Android co-founder, who first approached Google about a new
operating system in 2004, many years before smartphones were the
industry standard, was scheduled to speak at the SXSW conference on
Sunday, but was suddenly dropped from the bill. Now we know why.
