Nexus one Google’s new phone

Nexus One

It’s sweet but not as earth shattering as Google seems to think it is.Here’s why.

Even though the Nexus is packed with some of the best features it still lacks the most needed features.Many features the iPhone users take as for granted.For starters, the Google app store is much smaller with some 18,000 games; there are well over 100,000 for the iPhone.

Worse even if you find a good one you might have no where to install them. The Nexus can accommodate memory cards up to 32 GB ( a 4 GB card comes with it)- and yet , inexplicably, the Nexus allots only the tiniest silver of that ( 190 MB ) for downloaded apps.

The Nexus does ‘nt comes with any companion software, like the iTunes either.Enterprising geeks know about the free DoubleTwist program for Mac or Windows, which simulates iTunes for the purpose of loading up your phone with music, video and photos.But even the DoubleTwist doesn’t let you shop the android store from the comfort of your computer, you have to do it from your cramped phone.

There’s no physical ringer on-off switch, you have to do it on screen, truly apart from the iPhone or the palm phones.Sadly, theNexus lacks the multi touch screen feature, so, zooming in on web pages or photos is awkward.
