Tech tutorials, howtos and walkthroughs

A Google branded phone has been on and off the rumor radar for many months but about 2 weeks ago it shred it’s “rumor” label and blasted into reality with the revelation that thousands of Google phones called “Nexus One” were given to Google employees for testing and that the official release of the phone was right around the corner and set for January 2010. It didn’t take long for more and more information to start leaking and soon images, videos and specs for the now highly anticipated smartphone started appearing on the internet days before it’s announcement by Google.

Nexus Revolution

Some argue that the Nexus One is not “revolutionary” but I beg to differ. The success of it’s Android powered brother the Motorola Droid and with Apple selling millions of iPhones worldwide I think this can also mean good things for mobile technology. Lets just wait to see just how much success Google will reap from it’s first foray in the hardware market. The Vice President for, Product Management on Android Mario Queiroz explained that the word “nexus” means a connected series or group, so don’t be surprised if this is the first of many Android powered Google Phones to hit the market.
