Nexus One – The Iphone Killer’s out!
Nexus One is finally here! This is the Iphone killer we’ve all been waiting for! Google once again outshines it’s competitors with a creative ad campign that is sure to leave heads rolling at Apple HQ.
This phone has been rumoured for quite a while and it is a relief to see everything come to fruition. Unlike previous Android phones Google has chosen to sell Nexus One themselves directly from their website. This may be a signal to what Google’s strategy may be with the upcoming Chrome OS powered netbooks. So far Google is rumoured to be working on Google branded netbooks and maybe even a tablet (as we reported earlier this week).
Never the less the spotlight this week will be on Nexus One; a quick comparison of the Iphone 3GS and the Newus One shows why Apple should be very afraid:
