Latest and gentlemen, we have a Google Phone! No, really. An actual Google Phone. Not an HTC phone, Droid or otherwise (they were the first), or of any other manufacturer building their own hardware around the Google Android OS for mobile devices. But a Google Phone by Google itself.
It's to be called the Nexus One, and Google has handed it out to every person and company imaginable for some real world testing. According to the Wall Street Journal, Google designed the entire user interface (GUI) and initial Tweets call it the "iPhone on beautiful steroids". As for real world specs, it's got a capacitive touch screen, a scroll ball, and animated wallpaper. It has no physical keyboard, only a digital on-screen one.
But hark! We look at bit closer here and see that the hardware that Google built, it didn't really build. It was more like Google designed the hardware. HTC built it. Figures. Still, with Google calling it their own - the first Android based smartphone to receive that honor - maybe this really will be a smartphone game changer.
