Read MoreAre you an Open Source Developer?
Again, I read an article about the Android system and this time with the title: Open Source Developers Pick Android Over iPhone. I am not really an open source developer, though I truly believe in that concept, I just don’t have enough spare time to put into it. Damn I don’t even have enough time […]
Read MoreThe Nexus One is not a Failure
I just read that article Nexus One: Failure or a Late-Bloomer? I am bit confused by the article and wanted to share that. If I am wrong in any point, please feel free to correct me. The author says: Slow and steady may work for the tortoise against the hare, but sluggish sales of Google’s […]

I already wrote some stuff about the […]

Read MoreNexus One – Unboxing Photos
Like mentioned before, I ordered a Nexus One. Just 5 days after ordering the phone, it arrived here (in Hong Kong). The phone’s box looks kind of like an Apple product box. Plain white, not much written on there and a bit stylish. However, it doesn’t reach the Apple “stylishness”. It still looks nice and […]
Read MoreNexus One
IMHO, this is quite chic. I have to say that I am kind of surprised by the design. While the OS itself is pretty much the same on all devices; we distinguish Android phones more by their design and usability.
