Infinite Path

It is thought that today will be the day that Google launches the Nexus One, its new mobile phone which has been described as a model intended to rival the Apple iPhone.

The Nexus One has been largely shrouded in mystery and details about the phone such as its costing and release date are few and far between. However, this has only served to increase the hype surrounding the launch of the mobile phone, which will take advantage of the massive popularity of touch screen models and has been developed around Google’s Android software.

The Nexus One will not be the first mobile phone to bear Google’s golden touch. The Motorola Droid is another example of the search company trying to move into the highly competitive mobile market by building on the technological advances at their fingertips. However, the new model is expected to surpass the quality of the older one in terms of speed, feel, appearance, and usability.

Certain aspects of the Nexus One have arguably been designed with the aim of going one better than Google’s rival, Apple. For example, the new Google model will provide consumers with all the functionality of a 5 megapixel camera, which will put the iPhone’s 3 megapixel offering in the shade.

At the moment, the consensus is that consumers will be able to buy the mobile phone directly from Google whilst it will also be available from mobile operators.
