Okay was anybody else severely disappointed at the Nexus One release yesterday?
I for one was. The iPhone killer everyone was saying. Yea right! I gotta say the iPhone is pretty slick in many ways. It’s pretty, it has the most apps available; there is nothing remotely close to the number of apps. Lets face the facts that feature to feature, there isn’t really much more room for improvements here unless we really are going for the razor and single cup of coffee pod from our smart phones LOL. The iPhone is pretty awesome and everyone is riding their wake.
What is the one thing Google could have done to blow Apple out of the water in a single day?
Anybody??
How about a $99 unlocked price right off their homepage? With all the hype, every third geek in the world would have bought one and put their iPhone in the closet for good. Then who is using Google apps on their phone searching and *hint* clicking on Google ads all day long. I don’t know about you but I tend to click five times the ads on a mobile than I do all day long on my desktop. I don’t know why but I’m guessing it seems to get what I want easier and quicker with the smaller screen size.
Anyways Google – you suk for trying to make money on your phones. I guess instead you made … another android phone – Congrats! Doctors and Lawyer and a few blessed geeks with nice bosses will reap a cool phone perhaps. Personally I think with the bigger RAM, the Droid is by far a better way to go. plus I just saw yesterday on Verizon’s site two Droids for $100 (yea that’s right!) with a NEW 2-year contract – $100 with buy one get one free.
I’m sure I’ll wait another year and see how many android phones I’ll be able to pick from at that time and around Christmas time, I bet I’ll be able to get one for practically free like they should be if I’m paying every month for service.
later,
Jon
