Andy Rubin, the creator of Google’s ubiquitous Android mobile platform, has left Google, the company confirmed on Friday. “I want to wish Andy all the best with what’s next,” said Google CEO Larry Page. “With Android he created something truly remarkable — with a billion plus happy users. Thank you.” Rubin reportedly is departing to start a tech incubator for hardware-focused startups. He stepped down as head of Android in March — turning over the reins to SVP of Chrome and Apps Sundar Pichai — and turned his attention to robots instead.
