Google Phone Nexus one to Fight iphone and Droid

The year 2009 was clearly a remarkable year for the mobile technology with the launch and spread of iphone 3GS, the google andriod platform, adsense in mobile and the fightback by Droid. But there is more competition on the horizon with google entering the mobile market with the google phone aka nexus one.

People Still Talk about Iphone

Google has been toying around google android for quite some time, with the speculations of keeping the hardware floating around for almost an year. While android has been made open source and the app market not doing significantly well like that of the apple appstore, google plans on unveiling a phone on its own. The Droid did take a tough fight with apple, with 250,000 units sold in the first week, but the holiday season was clearly dominated by apple with its revolutionary iphone.

The Google Nexus One

Several sources on the internet have indicated the google nexus one phone and even the google phone nexus one specifications have been floating around on the internet. Obviously the google product ideas team did not manage to keep this a secret until the launch unlike apple and there were even tweets about the pricing. Google is said to have been in partnership with the HTC for the hardware and the google logo is very likely to be sported on the phone along with HTC. Google is also rumored to have talked with T-mobile for the carrier. Carrier exclusivity might be an option, but that might limit the users by a huge margin. In fact, Paul O’Brien tweeted that the nexus one pricing will be very competitive.

Marketing

No matter how great the iphone is, Google has one distinct advantage of advertisement space – The Google homepage. When chrome was released, Google took the news across the globe with an ad on the homepage and the same is very likely to happen when the droid killer is supposed to be released. There are also some rumors that the Google phone will be launched on a invitation only basis, pretty much like Google wave.
