Googles acquisition of Nest wasnt finalized all that long ago, but it seems that CEO Tony Fadell is already making his way into Mountain Views highest ranks. A new piece from The Information claims that Fadell — Nests founder and a former Apple executive who oversaw development of the iPod — now owns Googles consumer hardware division. Sundar Pichai reportedly dismantled almost all of the Android team’s hardware initiatives to lend Fadell more creative freedom with Googles future products and overall hardware roadmap. Google itself doesnt produce much consumer hardware.
