IT training: Google 'should turn defunct store into source of other services'

10:22 26th July 2010

Online search engine giant Google should use its now obsolete Nexus One web store as an opportunity to sell its Android handsets and other services, according to Jonathan Morris, editor of mobile phone magazine What Mobile.

Mr Morris said Google should turn the online shop "into a portal for Android handsets promoting apps on its application store and giving news, advice and support". The use of software such as apps for mobile phones is a topic that could be taught in IT training.

The expert also said that selling Android devices alone through the Google and Android web pages would only provide a service to satisfy a small number of people. He said that companies should also offer additional options besides selling unsubsidised smartphones online.

His comments emerged as news broke that the Nexus One smartphone will no longer be available online from Google once its last shipment of the devices, received this week, has been sold.
