Internet giant Google release their own brand smart phone

Everybody, or at least most people will have heard of Google. The most visited website on the planet, and worth billions of £s, Google have dominated the internet market by using many of their applications, most commonly their search engine, and more recently YouTube, Google Maps and Google Trends. At a Private invitation only viewing at the Google headquarters, they reveled the new phone which is a slim touch screen phone designed to carry out many tasks at the same time.

Running on Google’s Android system, the Nexus One is designed to be used by businessmen and families alike, allowing you to combine your work life with your personal life. At the moment, the phone is available from Google’s website only, and can only be taken out on a T Mobile plan in the US. In Europe the phone will be available on Vodafone, although contract prices and deals are currently a bit unclear. When the phone was unveiled, Google stated that the phone was “a point of convergence where the web meets phone and is an example of what is possible on mobile through Android.”

The exact specifications of the phone are currently unknown, but many great features are expected, including heavy integration with Google products, meaning you can access things like YouTube and Google trends straight from an application rather than having to go through an internet browser to look at it. The Nexus One is expected to be very popular following on from Google’s many other Android phones, which are available in over 20 versions, though admittedly not Google’s own make. “You will see it pushes the limits of what is possible on a mobile phone today,” said Peter Chou, HTC chief executive.
