Nexus One – Google’s First Phone to Appear Soon

December 15th, 2009 Simon No comments

Google Nexus OneGoogle has made history in telecommunications by introducing the Android operating system, and if that was not enough, they are prepared to step even further into the industry by introducing their very own mobile phone. Yes, Nexus One is what they are calling the new phone, and it is expected to be released in the early parts of the next year.

The news has been released by the Wall Street Journal, according to which Google will not be relying on any other phone carrier or operator for introducing the phone in the market, and will be managing the marketing of the phone themselves. Given the media impact of the internet giants, that is not really a surprise though. Nevertheless Google are entering previously unexplored terrain, and are preparing for it as well. As per the WSJ, Google have already introduced the phones to their employees.

The phone will be manufactured by the Taiwanese mobile phone manufacturers HTC, who themselves have launched a number of Android running handsets. But of course we are guessing that Google would have saved the best of the Android operating software for a phone under their own brand. It is being speculated to be the phone with the most customizable version of Android. The phone will not be offered with a network service and the users will have to arrange for a SIM card of the network of their choice.

Android is undoubtedly the hottest sensation among the mobile phone users and the market pundits alike and the news of the expected release of Nexus One is expected to be received enthusiastically as well. However, the road may not be all that smooth for Google, as it is posed a great threat from Apple’s iPhone and other Nokia smartphones, which are the most popular choices for smartphone users. Only time will tell how Google will come over the challenge.

Google Phone Rumors Emerge

December 2nd, 2009 Simon No comments

Google Phone ConceptMany rumors have been floating around about the search engine company Google lately, that they are making their own phone. This phone would run with the Android operating system, which is also created by the search engine company. However Google has repeatedly stepped up to state that they are not going to be creating a phone, none the less rumors are still popping up that they are in fact in the process of creating one.

This phone is believed to be designed by Google itself while in league with a leading phone manufacturer, which at this time is unknown. It has also been rumored that the operating system for this phone is like no other ever before seen. However it has been spotted running on a Google handset as well as a laptop, or so it is rumored from an unknown source.

Google has been known to have a part in the development of a phone already released, one that is powered by the Android OS. One such phone is the HTC Dream made by T-Mobile. It is indicated that Google’s hardware capabilities will not arise beyond this level.

It has been made clear that sources have found out that Google is in fact working with an unnamed manufacturer to create a new phone. This phone looks as though it will be one of the most competitive phones on the market today.

What’s unique about this new phone is that it will be available, unlocked from the retail channel. This is unusual and is not how phone business is normally done. They all go through a mobile carrier to do all their business. Not even Apple with their iPhone has been able to accomplish this feat. It will also be available for carriers as well however so that Google does not alienate the carriers.
