December 14th, 2009 | No Comments

Bernstein Research analyst Jeffrey Lindsay said in a research note that the phenomenal success of the iPhone, nearly 10 million units of which will ship through 2009 and whose Apple App Store offers more than 100,000 applications, has forced Google to take actions into its own hands in the smartphone market. Specifically, Google is creating the Nexus One as an unlocked alternative to existing Android phones, such as the successful Motorola Droid, to better challenge Apple’s iPhone dominance. BroadPoint AmTech analyst Ben Schachter sees Google’s move as a disruption in the space.

December 13th, 2009 | No Comments

Called the Nexus One, the Google phone is coming in January 2010 after Google admitted it had given employees devices to test. The Android operating system device resembles the unlocked HTC Touch, runs Android 2.1 on a Snapdragon chip and has two microphones. There is also reportedly voice to text features for the phone.
