Google to Introduce its First Mobile Handset

Google is coming out with its very first mobile handset, the Nexus One. It will be made by HTC and will be run by a customised version of Android.  The phone is already being test driven by Google employees as reported from the Wall Street Journal.  This is being confirmed by a number of Googlers who are tweeting on the details of the Google phone.  The report also says Google will market the device itself (not through any mobile operator) so end-users will have to secure their own SIM cards for the phone to work.  The introduction of Nexus One in the market will surely have an impact on the smartphone market being currently dominated by Nokia and Apple.  Some of the tweets said the new device is an iPhone plus a bigger screen plus the Android OS.  If the release of the much-awaited phone happens in early 2010 as many are expecting, it will be a big threat to the iPhone and its Nokia counterparts.
