Nexus One
The Nexus One is a smartphone from Google which
is powered by the latest version of the Android Mobile
Technology Platform (2.1). It represents Google's first branded phone.
The Nexus One has a gorgeous capacitive touch screen display
which supports multi-touch gestures and is incredibly vivid. It also
has an extremely fast
processor clocking at 1 GHz, making the phone very fast in general use.
The phone sports a well round feature set. The enhanced Google
Voice worked flawlessly, and the phone delivers good performance with
superb call quality predominately because of noise cancellation.
The Nexus one has four functional touch buttons at the bottom
of the screen (back, menu, home, search) and a navigation trackball
pointing device.
The integrated Media Gallery, developed by Cooliris,
offers new features including browsing, editing and shares of media on
the phone.
The 2.1 firmware version of the Android operating system adds
some candy floss such as live wallpapers which are interactive animated
backgrounds that react to different user inputs. There is also
support for pinch-to-zoom functionality to the web browser, gallery, and maps
applications.
Nexus One is also proficient in the multimedia department. It
has built in hardware decoding for H.263, H.264 and
MPEG-4 video, and plays MP3, AAC+, Ogg Vorbis, WAV, and
MIDI audio, and displays the JPEG, GIF, PNG, and BMP image formats.
The Nexus One does not have a slide-out physical keyboard, as all
input is made using the virtual keyboard. Whilst the decision to omit a
physical keyboard is a little disappointing it does mean that the phone
has a slimmer design.
