Google’s Android phone, Nexus One, has gone out of stock. Yes, you read it right. A month back, Google had discontinued the direct purchase service from their site and made it available for the registered developers.
In today’s update on the official Android Developers blog, their team members have announced that the new Nexus One developer units will take some time to come out. HTC, the hardware partner of the Nexus One, is not finding difficulties to manufacture the devices.
Due to worldwide AMOLED shortage, the company is delaying its manufacturing plans. Here’s what they said -
A couple of weeks ago, we arranged that registered developers could buy an unlocked Nexus One via their publisher page in Android Market. We think it’s a good development platform and a nice phone. Apparently, you agree. Somewhat too many of you, in fact; we blew through the (substantial) initial inventory in almost no time, and they’re back-ordered from HTC, who are doing a pretty good job of managing runaway success amid a worldwide AMOLED shortage. Everyone appreciates that it’s important to the platform to get phones in the hands of developers, so we’re working hard on re-stocking the shelves; stand by.
