Nexus Two on its Way – Hello Moto!

by Jay Garrett on January 30, 2010

There’s been rumours of a Nexus Two almost as soon as the Nexus One hit the blogosphere and it seems that Moto may be its maker.

The next Nexus could be a business model Google phone and Motorola’s CEO has confirmed that they would be delivering a phone to sell through the new Google Store.

Sanjay Jha reiterated Motorola’s ambition to launch 20 smartphones in 2010, of which one will be “one direct to consumer device with Google.”

All that when pieced with Motorola’s ’secret project’, the covert operationally named ‘Shadow’, could end up being the Nexus Two.

Getting Motorola to build the next Google Store offering makes sense now as the mobile cobbler has since proved itself worthy with its latest Android blowers – especially with the Milestone (Droid).

Word on the interweblogosphere reckons that a Motorola built Googlephone should appear in the first half of 2010.

Will it take the shine off iPhone 4G?

Apple iPhone 3GS, Google Nexus One, Moto Droid and Palm Pre Compared

by Jay Garrett on January 7, 2010

If your head is spinning with details and specs of the four phones above then thank Billshrink for the complete comparison break-down.

Billshrink has compared the main specifications and the cost of ownership of the Google, Apple, Palm and Motorola blowers. The cost of ownership may be more important and even a deciding factor in these times of the crunch.

Can you guess who the winner out of the iPhone, Nexus One, Droid or Pre is?

You may be surprised or even confused.

By my reckoning there’s no out-and-out champ. The handsets, as you’ve probably already imagined, all have their strengths and weaknesses.

To be honest though I still feel that the iPhone is top. The interface is great, the 3GS is an improvement on the 3G which is still great, the number of apps keeps the interest up – the 3MP phone will always be a stumbling block – but that may get some attention soon ;)

What do you reckon?

What’s your choice?

At first glance I thought I was having flash-backs to when I owned a V80 then thought – surly that’s a V70!
But then I read the press blurb about the Aura and looked more closely.
Over 700 individual components, a stainless steel housing, a front plate that takes a fortnight to create.
HUH?
