Android, Nexus and The iPhone: A Reflection.
Unless you’ve been living under a very large, internet free rock lately, you’d be hard pressed to have missed the launch of the “google phone”. The much anticipated (and leaked) “Nexus One” was finally released to the public yesterday. The first cell phone from the search giant, developed in conjunction with HTC, is also the first time the company has used their own android operating system on their own hardware. Slated to be available on T-Mobile initially or contract free in the US (with Verizon to follow) or on Vodafone in Europe, the launch has unsurprisingly attracted lots of media attention. With that attention of course come the inevitable comparisons to the iPhone and the equally inevitable labelling of the Nexus One as a potential iPhone Killer. I doubt however that Apple has anything to worry about.
