If it is so concerned about the online rights of users, as the [URL="http://www.daniweb.com/news/story252590.html"]Google statement about pulling out of China[/URL] would suggest, maybe it should consider pulling out of Italy next.

A new normal?

Google announced the long awaited [URL="http://www.npr.org/blogs/alltechconsidered/2010/01/google_releases_its_nexus_one.html"]Nexus One[/URL] today, but the phone itself was only part of the story. Google has decided to distribute the phone exclusively through its own [URL="http://www.google.com/phone"]web store[/URL], a misguided strategy I think will ultimately backfire on them. Frankly, I think it's a mistake for the company …

Well, this looks like it - all the reports are in place. I think we can safely say it's Googlephone day, particularly when there are bloggers around who've [URL="http://www.avc.com/a_vc/2010/01/the-google-phone.html"]already received a Nexus[/URL]. This only leaves one question unanswered. If the Nexus is going to be the Google phone, what are …

Persistent rumors have Google scheduling an event for Tuesday to launch its new Nexus One mobile phone. Engadget was even fortunate enough [URL="http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/02/exclusive-google-nexus-one-hands-on-video-and-first-impressio/"]to procure one[/URL] ahead of the launch.
