A bite of the Apple
Database, Published on 20/01/2010
» Google released the Nexus One smart phone, an impressive gadget that will push more improvements in the iPhone, but will not immediately take much more than a nibble out of the Apple; the new phone runs on the Google operating system, and starts life with more than 18,000 apps - about 15 percent of the Apple selection but, on the other hand, able to multi-task, something the iPhone apps won't do; the big deal about Nexus One, however, is only about US and Canada, where Google aims to be, very roughly, what Number 2 yuppiephone firm DTAC was when the Norwegians took it over and it unlocked its phones; that is what Google is doing with Nexus, which is made by HTC of Taiwan and costs $529 or 17,500 baht in real money - but which is unlocked and will work with any carrier; this is a revolution in the US wireless industry, where phones are totally locked into carriers, and if you want an iPhone, you sign a two-year, near-usurious contract with AT&T; phone companies will feature the Nexus One - T-Mobile subsidises it for $179 for Americans who agree in writing to pay $79.99 a month for the next two years, or 6,000 plus 2,700 baht in real money; but Google will sell you the phone for use with any carrier from its website (google.com/phone) and this is the first crack in the phone-company control of the business.
