It has been rumored for some time about a new mobile phone with Google’s Android operating system – but also will be sold by Google during the Google brand. Google to sell its own phone was dismissed by Google in October, but the omsusade phone “Nexus One” is now confirmed.
Although U.S. authority the FCC has now approved a phone known as Nexus One, made in Taiwan, built by HTC. From the minutes of the FCC can be deduced that Nexus One will have WLAN (54 Mbps), turbo 3G (7.2 Mbps) and new Bluetooth 2.1.
Nexus One and HTC Dragon
American technology site TechCrunch was a front runner in mid-November with the task that Google will begin selling its own mobile phone. According to TechCrunch, it was Korean LG, which would produce a new mobile phone. At the same time came reports that Korean HTC had a phone with a code name HTC Dragon at once, and that it was the phone that would be the first mobile phone with Google’s own brand on.
The pictures now circulating at Nexus One are indeed pictures of the same phone that was previously under the code name HTC Dragon.
Google says
Now, however, rumors, and discussions have taken a new step by a spokesperson from Google finally has commented on this information. On Google Mobile official blog writes Google’s Mario Queiroz that lets Google employees worldwide, is now testing a mobile with ‘innovative hardware “and” new mobile services. ”
What is now going on is what Google calls “dogfooding” (from the phrase eat your own dogfood) which means that employees may try a product in their daily lives. It circulates, however, images of what is said to be the new cell phone – pictures that represent the previously known HTC Dragon, which Taiwanese HTC is working until now. There is a phone that is thinner than the iPhone, for example, but with a larger screen.
Google has not yet been confirmed by TechCrunch’s assertion that Google itself will sell Nexus One, the Google brand. As recently as in October, Google’s Andy Rubin went out and waved away the claims that Google would “compete with their customers” (ie, mobile phone manufacturers) by opening up its own telephone. If it is true Nexus One would simply rather be sold under the manufacturer HTC’s own brand.
Säljstart in January
In American newspapers, speak out, however, analysts who argue that Google wants to gain more control over mobile development, and not be completely at the mercy samatbetspartners, whether it be Apple or HTC. It would justify now also beginning to sell its own mobile which you can control the design of.
According to the data that is now circulating to Nexus One launched January 5, and Google employees as the New York Times talked to says that it can begin to be sold during the month of January.
