Goodbye Nexus One

I completely missed this story, but Google has decided to stop selling the Nexus One. For all my talk of the iPhone and how my 3G model still does everything I want it to, I’m sad to see Google pull out of the race as a direct competitor.

Google Android the latest US weapon?

I already read these Google Reader!

Presumably they asked Apple but it was rejected from the App Store. Thank you thank you, I’ll be here all week! From SBS News:

Raytheon, which makes the Patriot missile defense system, is developing software which could enable a soldier to find enemies in his or her surrounding terrain using a mobile phone running Google’s Android operating system.

Android is Cheerios, not sweet eye candy

Imagine the uproar on Slashdot if this story description was posted about an Apple product! But I digress.

Palm nostalgia and marketing folk

My iPods and such
