Google Nexus One [Specs+Video]

Google Products do have a promising start but the question remains how are they going to penetrate in users heart. We all know that Google Wave was the most trending topic in 2009 on Twitter but unfortunately for ento geeks it didn't proved much of a treat.

We have seen many screen shots and its boot animation couple of days ago. Not to forget it is said to be equipped with Snapdragon processor with a tag price of $199.  Moreover rumors are that there will be special discount packages for old GMail users and will be available online and unlocked via Google. http://google.com/nexusone seems one authenticated site for  Nexus one pre-orders but is down.

Google Phone [Additional info and Pics]

Recently TechCrunch confirmed Google Phone and some additional specs known till yet. We covered little known specs previously and here are some more.

It will be running Snapdragon Chip and its fast, a user told. Its equipped with super-high resolution OLED touchscreen, thinner than iPhone, no QWERTY keyboard, with two mics and voice to text feature embedded. One thing more is that it will be build in collaboration with HTC and getting all help from Google. Google Phone will be available in January 2010, is GSM based, unlocked and running Android 2.1.

This shows a strong response to Apple, since we know that there were some critical arguments going on regarding Google Voice app inclusion into Apple Store. Also AT&T and T-Mobile contract with Apple is about to finish and Google will try hard to bet for it. There is a strong possibility that we may see a 'Google Phone Store' just like iTunes and certainty is there that in near future it may contain Google web apps as well.

Below are some screenshots (Click for broader view), credits to TheUnlockr.



Still there is no Official word from Google itself regarding specs rather than dogfooding.

Google Chrome Video

After the Official launch of Google Chrome Beta for Mac, Google released a new Video highlighting its key components. A very clear and concise documentary stating features such as Speed, Security, Stability, Themes, Omnibox, Incognito and New Tab is shown below.


The Google Phone coming

Google Phone is smaller than HTC with smooth edges, capacitive Touchscreen and scrolly ball like on Hero. Google Brand Manager Leslie Hawthron reports
