Andy Rubin (former Google exec.)

posted on Jan 14, 2015 09:20AM

This was back in October 2014, same month that Google exec. Eric Schmidt and Jonathan Rosenberg presented book "How Google works" at The Empire Club of Canada where they can be seen with POET Tech. exec. Ajit Manocha chatting at the table.

Andy Rubin, best known for his work on Android at Google, is leaving the company. According to The Wall Street Journal, Rubin will build an incubator for what it describes as companies working with “technology-hardware” products.

Google confirmed the departure to us with a prepared statement from Google CEO Larry Page: “I want to wish Andy all the best with what’s next. With Android he created something truly remarkable—with a billion plus happy users. Thank you.”

It’s not clear whether Google will be involved in any way with this new incubator, either financially or operationally, or what it is called. The company declined to comment on this.
