Andy Rubin, Former Head of Android, Departs Google - NYTimes.com

Off to incubate ... the next wave of Google hardware acquisitions?

"Andy Rubin, a high-ranking Google executive who spearheaded the company’s entrance into mobile phones and tablets and was in charge of the company’s nascent robotics group, has left the company.

Mr. Rubin is leaving to start a tech incubator focused on start-ups interested in building hardware, he said.

“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,” said Larry Page, Google’s chief executive, in a statement."
