“Google has definitely raised the bar for future Linux
phones with their newly launched smartphone. It’s now up to other
Linux-powered smartphone innovators to live up to the challenge.

” Whether the next iPhone contender will run the latest version
of Android or in the case of Nokia, Maemo, Google has showed that
it can be done. That an opensource solution can be used to create a
product with the looks and features that the Nexus One has.

“Even if (take note, “if” not “when”) people will realize that
Nexus One is not yet the iPhone killer, they will also see iPhone’s
invulnerable armor wearing off. After all, not everyone who owns an
iPhone is an Apple fanatic.”
