The Nexus S is Google’s New Android Smartphone

“If you think that Google has already given up on creating its
own smartphones after the not-so-financially-successful Nexus One,
think again. Just recently, Google has officially announced the
release of Nexus S, the first device to ship with Android 2.3
“Gingerbread”. Although Samsung was tasked to manufacture this
latest Googlephone, the software is strictly integrated with the
hardware and promises to deliver ‘pure Google’ experience as they
say.

“Aside from running the latest and most probably the best
version of Android yet, the Nexus S is also equipped with several
innovative features. One of which, is its built-in NFC (near field
communication) hardware that enables the device to communicate with
both existing ISO/IEC 14443 smartcards and readers, as well as with
other NFC devices making it compatible with existing wireless
infrastructure already in use for public transportation and
payment. And since NFC is fast and flexible and can be easily
embedded in different kinds of objects, expect to see Android
applications that will take advantage of this technology.”
