Google — Google developed a new Android, it’s the new Nexus One.
Apparently Google has had enough of selling its Android Operating System to Cell Phone manufacturers. “Wall Street Journal” reported that Google is considering a device of its own complete with Android Platform. The device is named as Nexus One. Reportedly Google has teamed up with HTC to come up with the Google Phone.
Initially the reports were that the Google device manufactured by Nexus One would hit the markets sometime during next year. However apparently Google has denied all such reports. According to the authorities at Google, Nexus One is being developed to test further versions of Android platform at home rather than having to commission an outsider to run the software on its device to check and debug it.
Reportedly the whole process of making Android evolve at a faster pace could not be done with desired pace and satisfaction unless it is tested in house. Google has announced that Nexus One would be given to Google Employees only.
If like me you are tracking the search engine giant’s progress you would note a remarkable similarity between what Google is doing with Nexus One and how it introduced other software products.
When ORKUT came, it was only for Google employees or you can join only through referral. Similarly when GMAIL came, it was announced that the whole idea was designed to facilitate Google Employees etc.
But one factor is common among all the things Google – Quality and Revolutionizing.
We are all sure that NEXUS ONE would eventually make it to the markets with great results.

Motorola — Motorola has released its first cell phone based on the Android operating system. Motorola’s Droid Cell Phone – a new iPhone?
The cell phone which has been currently released only in United Sates is called Droid. Droid cell phone by Motorola is featuring version 2.0 of Android OS by Google. One of the main features of Android is that it comes with Google Maps and it enables the user to get information about turn-by-turn direction and the information is voice-enabled. Although, there are many to-be-released-soon cell phones which are featuring this one-of-its-kind mobile operating system, currently Droid is having competition with only one cell phone in the market – HTC Magic. Other features of the Droid includes a wide touch screen, QWERTY keyboard, CDMA based networking, multiple player software for videos and audio, BLUETOOTH, WiFi, and USB data connector. There is a variety of other applications related to internet and web browsing available too.
A good business is anticipated and it is being expected that Droid cell phones will provide Motorola the breakthrough in the market. The company is in the business for quite some time now and was doing extremely well until the wave of touch phones came into the market. Motorola cell phones lacked the dazzling features which other big names (Like Apple, Nokia, and Samsung) included in their phones. No doubt, Motorola needs a hit and Droid may just provide that to its makers.
The Droid cell phone is supported by Verizon Wireless only. Motorola is planning to launch the cell phone in other countries too where Vodefone (the service provider of Verizon) is providing its services. These countries will be future markets of Droid and includes New Zealand, UK, Australia, and India.
