Here is a pretty good pic of the myTouch Slide. Judging by the pictures, I have to say I like what I see. We have a decent spaced keyboard and a optical trackpad. I’m hearing it still uses the same processor as the G1 (ARM11), so no speed demon here. What do you guys think?
I just recently got a HTC Dream (or G1, as they call it) to replace my old Touch Viva. That WM6.1 was just bad, and the screen resolution was not enough to navigate properly. Besides, it used to hang up at times. Stupid WM.
It’s a cool device and all. Screen is pretty big, browser is light and fast, and having a real QWERTY again is so much better than the stupid virtual keyboard. Also, the operating system is awesome. Only problem is the battery, which seems to go fresh too quickly. I heard the problem got partly solved with the new Android versions, but our mobile provider (the dreaded Tim) won’t give us any update after the original 1.1. I thought about doing it myself, but I’m not really into the tech stuff. I’m no Linux user, and the guides I’ve found on the net basically works around the idea of you having Linux. And they are also very confusing. Ugh.
Anyway, I just wish… there was more companies developing for it. The Market does have a lot of stuff, but it’s not too interesting right now. I remember some months ago, PopCap said they would develop for Android, but it hasn’t happened yet. Gameloft also said they would rather focus on the iPhone (not that I care about Gameloft). Overall, there is much support among amateurs and tech-savvies, but companies appear reluctant to jump on the boat. I want my Peggle, dammit!
Is it a matter of marketshare? But from what I know, the Android has jumped up considerably, and is starting to look more interesting than WM. And yet they do a lot of games for WM, but nothing for Android. What’s keeping them at bay?

Today is my birthday, the perfect day to get my very own Google Nexus One 
Was it worth all the speculation, hype, and scoops? You bet – the Nexus One is the new benchmark of the phone world!
Sure, the Nokia N900 features a better camera, the Motorola Droid a physical keyboard, the Apple iPhone 3GS more applications, the Palm Pre a nicer user experience. But after using the Nexus One for just a few hours, it’s clear to me that it’s a milestone device…
Despite the lack of physical keyboard and dedicated camera key, the Nexus One is first phone with Android 2.1, a 800×480 pixel capacitive OLED screen, and world roaming – not to mention a 1 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon CPU and 512 MB RAM.
Consider this: I purchased this device instead of getting a review unit Still not convinced? Maybe my unboxing pictures and video will take you over edge:
Today the new Google/HTC phone, Nexus One, was announced. It is currently available for T-Mobile customers and will be released sometime this year for Verizon customers. There’s a lot of hype behind this phone. It’s fast, will be supporting Flash soon, and is the best android phone out there.
The Google/HTC Nexus One
But what’s the catch? Here it is: the pricing. The Nexus One is available for new T-Mobile customers for only $179 and a two year contract. It will be $279 for existing customers upgrading to a data plan and $379 for existing customers who are upgrading and already have a data plan.
Does that seem a bit wrong? It seems that T-Mobile wanted the phone on their service so badly that they gave up the right to dictate the subsidized pricing and left it all up to HTC. Seeing how HTC won’t have to deal with the Nexus One customers on a regular basis, they’ve left it up to T-Mobile to handle the masses of customers that will be complaining. And they will be complaining.
Most believe, including myself, that anyone extending a contract out another two years should be available for the $179 price point. HTC doesn’t seem to think so. It would be like AT&T allowing Apple to dictate what the price of the iPhone is. But AT&T sets the subsidized price on the iPhone ($599 for a full retail priced 16GB iPhone 3GS, $199 with a 2 year contract). T-Mobile seems to have gotten this backwards.
I was looking forward to the Nexus One, but now it seems like I may not get one. I’ll have to have a chat with a T-Mobile representative to see if there’s anything existing customers can do to avoid being screwed by HTC. If anyone can find a way around the $279 price point (as I’ll be adding a data plan), let me know. The last thing I want is for HTC to get exactly what they want.

Google search has made a profound impact on the way people browse for information on the internet.

“That device, the unnamed sources tip, will be based on a Qualcomm chipset – potentially the 1GHz Snapdragon chip that HTC have already used in the HTC HD2, and that is expected to power Google’s upcoming Nexus One Android smartphone – and feature, unsurprisingly, a touchscreen. It will also have ‘new software from Adobe’, which could be the much-anticipated Flash for Android plug-in” HTC Android Tablet appearing privately at CES 2010; Chrome OS version in prototype form? – SlashGear
- HTC used to do UMPC’s, so maybe this device could be cool?
