The phone is cool and has some nice features. What am I writing about? You should know by now. If not then get with the program. The technical world of journalism is totally goo-goo over this thing. I believe in capitalism 100% and nothing is wrong with this phone. I opted for the Droid and from the looks of it this phone is close to the Droid in functionality.
Journalists have spent the past two weeks hyping up the Nexus One phone by Google. The phone that is a computer, phone, and everything else imaginable. It even walks on water. If there was a technology news site it was reporting about the Nexus One PC Phone. The over reporting of the phone is the problem. First reports were “shhhh, Google employees are testing some new phone.” Next “we think a new phone is on the way by Google. Last, “Yeeehaa! Google is announcing next week.”
Before the official launch, the journalists were already reporting technical specifications, who was manufacturing it, and when it was being announced. I have always wondered why there is an official launch for any product if journalists know everything about the product before the announcement. One benefit is obviously the marketing. The more buzz the less capital is needed for advertising.
The irony about this article is I am reporting about it too. OK, Google wins again.
