Notes on the Nexus One

The Nexus One.

The Nexus one is here, and after following the release closely  here are my notes. I own a jailbroken 3GS, and am currently wondering about making the switch to the N1. Why?

The Google phone isn’t even available for ordering in Australia yet, so whilst pondering the question of “Would you… like to be upgraded?”, I do have some other questions and comments around the phone and its software configuration.

The following is a semi-coherent first draft of where I think it is at at the moment. I’ve launched straight at the gray areas, as the key advantages of supreme multitasking, application development openness and ability to develop apps for the platform on any type of machine (not just a Mac!) are not covered here.
