Google has unveiled the much anticipated Google phone called the Nexus One today. The Nexus One is a touchscreen phone, manufacturered by the Tawanise company HTC but under the banner of Google. The phone will retail through the Google website without a contract, for £331 and will also be available on contract from T-mobile for a £112.
The Nexus One is expected to be seen as rival to the Apple iPhone which has set the benchmark in Smartphones in terms of usability and the number of applications available for their phone. However, some consider Apple to be too restrictive in the applications it allows to run on its products. For example, all applications must be vetted by Apple before they can be sold on iTunes and the reluctance of Apple to allow Flash to run on the device are limitations for iPhone.
The specifications for the Nexus One are as follows:
- 3.7″ touchscreen
- 1 Ghz Snapdragon processor
- 5 Megapixel camera with LED flash
- GPS and compass
- Accelerometer
- Noise cancellation technology
- Voice recognition can be used with all applications
- Light sensor changes screen brightness to conserve power
- 512MB Flash memory with SD card slot (expandable to 32GB)
