For the wrong reasons, Google’s overhyped Android phone, the Nexus One, is in the headlines. Verizon happened to be the first to pop the Nexus One bubble after it was announced last month that it would be available. The Sprint and Nexus One pairing vaporized earlier this week. Sprint axed Nexus One after previously saying it would carry the device. Verizon and Sprint snubbing Nexus One is either one of technology’s greatest failures, or a trivial misstep that doesn’t really matter.

Google web store and the Nexus One

The Nexus One failure seems to be obvious. Google wanted to make it so you could only buy the Nexus One in the Google web store. As reported on eWeek, Some experts do think the Google web store Nexus One model is clear evidence that carriers don’t want to sell a device that can’t sell in their own retail stores. Other experts think that the Nexus One was simply eclipsed by better Android phones.

Nexus One plan for Sprint

Things were looking good just a few months ago for Google’s Nexus One sales. PC World reports that in mid-March, Sprint announced that it would carry a CDMA version of Google’s Nexus One sometime later this year. Sprint dropped the Nexus One on Monday. Sprint decided to support the HTC EVO 4G Android instead. Sprint likely chose the HTC EVO 4G because it has a larger display screen than the Nexus One, runs on Sprint’s 4G WiMAX network and also features the HTC Sense UI. The fact that you couldn’t use your online cash advance to buy a Nexus One from Sprint probably didn’t help.

Verizon Nexus One

The Nexus One/Verizon deal has completely flopped thanks to the HTC Incredible Android phone. Both the Incredible and Google Nexus One have the same specs. The Incredible runs Android 2.1 like the Nexus One. What is the difference between the two devices? The Droid Incredible actually runs HTC’s revised Sense UI. Informationweek.com reports that the newest version of Sense makes using the Android platform more enjoyable experience.

The Nexus One and the Android advantage

Everybody likes a winner, and the Nexus One reputation suffered from initial 3G connectivity bugs and low sales figures. PC World said that the only advantage Nexus One has over Incredible and EVO is its direct tie to Google’s speedy OS update process. On the HTC Sense UI, a manufacturer-altered versions of Android, updates can take months to reach users.

Android thrives without having the Nexus One

Is Nexus One a huge failure? As it turns out, some analysts think the device had run its course and Google is better off without the Nexus One. After being rejected by major carriers, the Nexus One is likely to be done. All rivals run on Android though which Google doesn’t mind. And all the media commotion about smartphone competition, of all things, has raised the profile of Android to the point that Android phones actually outsold Apple’s iPhone last month.

Remember that it is a while now that rumors about iPhone 4G are hovering all over the internet. Each one has his own specifications for the next iPhone. Here are the closest rumored specifications that people have got hands on.

It is said or rather rumored that iPhone 4G will have OLED screen. This might be true because Nexus One too has OLED display and many phones from now on will be offered with this display screen. In addition to the new type of display iPhone 4G will also have video calling function and removable battery. Coming to the processing system, iPhone will function on Dual Core processor.

The concept about iPhone having Dual Core processor comes up probably from the fact that Apple now is the owner of PA Semi- a chip manufacturing organisation. In iPad also Apple has used its own chip. And that is the only thing nice about iPad which will help it pull through in the market. So it is very well possible that iphone 4G will have Dual Core processor. Read the complete story here- New 4th Gen Rumors, Dual Core, Removable Battery & More

These highlights of iPhone 4G are just a rumor and there is all possibility that the real iphone may end up as something else. Especially after iPad’s disappointment, it will not be unusual to see a different iPhone being released entirely.

For iPad also, people had anticipated a lot and a great amount of hype was formed about the Apple Tablet which only resulted in disappointments. iPad didn’t come withsomething awesome, it only turned out to be a larger iPhone with a few extra features added to it. And the funny part is that its size does not make it a pocket gizmo like the iPhones and iPods.

But let’s wish iPhone 4G come with good, useful functions and doesn’t let Apple and its admirers down. And till then let’s wait and look out for more such rumors concerning iPhone 4G.

Google Nexus had created sensation even before it was introduced. Previous to its release, the talk that Google was entering cell cell phone trade was a thing that didn’t go down well with all. And just following launch, the fact that Google Nexus came out to be as predicted and not a lot more than what Google enthusiasts has predicted upset persons. And now after days following the phone’s introduction, here’s another trouble – Google phone is being sued for its name Nexus One.

The name Nexus One is said to be copied from Philip K Dicks book ‘Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?’. The author’s daughter has gone to the press accusing Google of taking the name of the cell phone from her father’s novel without referring to them.

Wheather the name is actually copied from the book or not is unsure. Google obviously will deny the accusation. But the writer’s daughter seems to be reluctant to dissuade and not comply with Google. If the matter gets serious, they can have to get the legal assistance. And if Google losses the case, a lump sum amount will need to be given on the writer’s daughter (A lot could say, the situation is getting raised only to get good money. Like Motorola had to pay to be able to make use of the name Droid). Google anyway in recent times is having difficulties from all sides – there is this Apple-Google war, Google is soon going to be from iPhone (Bing will be seen on iPhone), touch screen problem with Apple and what not. Looks like Google’s step into mobile phone industry is resulting in a good deal of challenges.

Sometime back Google was like the King in the web business (it nevertheless tops) but with a lot of challenges and dissapointments (with reference to Google Phone), tables may turn pretty soon.

Let’s see what happens and who wins.

The information may get a few of you happy while disappoint a few others. Nexus One is built to filter any swear word used. That is the speech-to-text recognition function does not permit the user (speaker) to post out any swear words. As an alternative, the phone converts those terms into a group of #. That is when you type a five lettered swear word, the gadget will show up the word something like this #####.

The reason being in Android powered products, speech to text recognition is yet not thoroughly perfect. The system can sometimes does not recognize the spoken phrases and return some other word. Which may well bring on confusion at the receiving end. And that is why Droid phone too has a similar trouble (for some).

This is not the first time profanity is being filtered out, Zune HD is also doing the same thing with its twitter application. In case you  do not know what Zune is- it’s a Microsoft product and it was first introduced in the market in 2006. And just back in Dec, Zune came out with their twitter application which does not permit any swear word used.  This is one reason (as well as other) why not everybody likes their Twitter app.

In addition to this, among many Nexus aspects that don’t go down well with consumers is the four buttons at the lower end of the Nexus handset. It’s because the control keys work only when top half of it is pressed, which can be quite irritating. On top of that, under the sunlight the display is not see-able. These are few of those imperfections which people who have had hands-on encounter with Nexus noted.

But the no-profanity quality is in a way good one. Though quite a few of them will despise Nexus One for being a civilized smart phone. For more details read Nexus One Blocks Swear Word

Google Nexus One was first launched only in US. But Google had declared at the time during the launch that Google Nexus One will be released in three of these countries also- UK, Hong Kong and Singapore. And now it seems that after US, UK is the next spot. I was reading a blog which gave details of Nexus One hitting UK. You may directly check this post Vodafone Brings Nexus One To UK, India Next.

After UK, Nexus may well come to India. Well, this is merely a speculation. Nothing is definite as of now.

After Nexus One was launched, many people were left a bit unhappy. Not that the phone isn’t a great one, it’s just that people expect far too much from Google. And Google, this time, couldn’t keep up with their high expectations. Every specification of the phone was already leaked out that once the phone was actually revealed, people had absolutely nothing to look forward to.

To give some insight into the pricing, unlocked Google Nexus One will cost you about$ 530. Here is some more info on Nexus One pricing.

All Google products have so far done great in the market – even Google wave craze is too high even though people aren’t quite sure about usage of it. Nexus One is also anticipated to do good. But how good, only users will decide once the phone is available around the world. Yet another Google product which is being awaited is the Google Tablet(in reality no one is very sure if Google Tablet is in making. But if rumors are to be believed, yes, Google and HTC in a joint effort are making their tablet which may be available soon after the Apple Tablet, iSlate, is available in the public. ) Hope Google Tablet doesn’t disappoint Google admirers like the Google phone did.
