Google executive Andy Rubin has claimed the next version of the Nexus One will be aimed at enterprise users and could feature a physical keyboard.
Rubin is vice president of engineering at Google, and oversaw development of the Android mobile operating system which powers the Nexus One - which was built by HTC.
While the Nexus One is widely regarded as a direct challenge to Apple's iPhone, the Nexus Two looks like it's being targeted at BlackBerry maker RIM, which has a strong position in the enterprise smartphone market.
Rubin made the comment during an interview with Wall Street Journal's Walt Mossberg at an event hosted by the newspaper.
The comment followed Google's announcement earlier this week that it would sell smartphones direct to consumers via its website, and would look to open up the store to other models, and possibly netbooks, later in the year.

Erm... Nexus Two already? How long then before Nexus Six will start hi-jacking moon shuttles?

You mean they might finally add support for proxy servers? A modern Smartphone OS without this function is a joke and has been my biggest let down with the HTC Hero.
