Nest Learning Thermostat might be coming to Canada through Google Play

It would make sense that Google will sell the product of its latest acquisition on the Google Play Store. You can find all Google devices there already. While Google has not officially announced its availability yet, Droid Life was able to grab a screenshot of Google Play’s support pages for available devices with the Nest Learning Thermostat in the list. It says the device will be available in Canada, the US, and UK. The product isn’t available in those countries right now. So, does that mean Google plans to sell the Nest here? There is no word yet from Google and they have pulled the listing from the support page. We’ll keep our eyes and ears open for any developments.

UPDATE

Google has started to sell the Nest Learning Thermostat on Google Play for US$249. The tech company even helped celebrate Earth Day by planting a tree for every Nest device it sold.
