Our new approach to buying a mobile phone
,----[ Quote ]
| We first executed on this vision a little
| over a year ago, when we launched Android
| on one device with one operator in one
| country. Today, we have 20 devices with 59
| operators in 48 countries and 19
| languages. And because Android is free and
| open source, it continues to flourish.
| Android allows devices to be built faster,
| and at lower cost. And anyone can build
| anything on top of the platform. This
| ultimately benefits users.
|
| [...]
|
| Well, today we're pleased to announce a
| new way for consumers to purchase a mobile
| phone through a Google hosted web store.
| The goal of this new consumer channel is
| to provide an efficient way to connect
| Google's online users with selected
| Android devices. We also want to make the
| overall user experience simple: a simple
| purchasing process, simple service plans
| from operators, simple and worry-free
| delivery and start-up.

How the Google Nexus One and Motorola Droid compare
,----[ Quote ]
| The Nexus One smartphone, which was
| manufactured by HTC, is Google's first
| attempt at making its own device that runs
| on its open source Android operating
| system. The phone's official unveiling
| comes just a couple of months after the
| similarly hyped Motorola Droid came to
| market as the first Android-based phone
| available on the Verizon network.

The Google Phone (Nexus One) is Finally Here

A Few Thoughts on the Nexus One
,----[ Quote ]
| Overall, the phone is good enough that
| it's conceivable in a way that it wasn't a
| few months ago that we'll see a replay of
| Apple's experience in the PC market
| twenty-five years ago, in which Apple's
| fit and finish was unquestionably
| superior, but a commodity platform that
| was "good enough" and available to the
| entire industry ended up taking the lead.
|
| (Henry Blodget makes this case in Hey,
| Apple, Wake Up -- It's Happening Again. On
| the other hand, Mark Sigal raises a
| different historical analogy, Novell vs.
| Microsoft, asking whether Google's release
| of its own anointed phone might end up
| blunting adoption by other vendors, while
| Google takes the eye of its core business.
| A lot depends on whether Google holds back
| anything from the platform available to
| others. At today's press conference,
| Google emphasized the open platform aspect
| of Android, so they are trying to address
| that fear. The model seems to be to work
| with individual partners to push the ball
| forward, but to return those innovations
| to the pool available to all partners.)
