Nexus One

Apparently the rumors were right and the diggin of Techcrunch forced Google to this statement.

We recently came up with the concept of a mobile lab, which is a device that combines innovative hardware from a partner with software that runs on Android to experiment with new mobile features and capabilities, and we shared this device with Google employees across the globe.

Remains the question why? I think that Google concluded from all the Android diversifications that they need to provide a reference platform by themselves. Maybe having in mind, that users would force other Android manufacturers to follow their reference design, because nobody could keep up with Google’s pace. If you want the latest Android phone — you need the Google Phone.
