In my previous post on the Nexus One I wrote that that the Nexus will take sometime in beating the ever present iPhone, I still maintain this. But let me for a change say this that the way things are going (in the Google world) competitors need to feel threatened. What made me think so? well to begin with was the Google’s new approach to buying a Mobile Phone which gives one the ability to explore a mobile phone in ways that were previously unimagined. Impressive is the word that comes to one’s mind followed by “Ingenious”. Imagine holding your hand next to the screen in order to compare it with an editable image and then see how the Nexus One would look in your hand.

The Android today is running on at least 20 devices, in 19 languages, in 48 countries supported by 59 mobile companies. All this happened just a year back! That’s good going so far. Google now is selling the Nexus One on a Google hosted web store and the first device to be sold will be the Nexus One off course. This is quite different form the previous practice and welcome indeed. According to Google they want to “make the overall user experience simple: a simple purchasing process, simple service plans from operators, simple and worry-free delivery and start-up.”

Google further goes on to say that this class of devices is being dubbed not as smart-phones but as “Superphones”. What makes this different is the possibility of having a voice enabled keyboard which lets users speak in to text fields, Live Wallpapers and 3D photo galleries to name a few. The inevitable Google app like Gmail, Google Maps and Google Voice come bundled in. Try out the Google Web Store and see for yourself, this may impress you as one can see a live demo of the various applications by clicking on the icons on a life size Nexus One device. You can also make purchases there, depending on where you are located.
