Many experts said that the Nexus One from Google will be the company’s way to get in touch with the smartphone subscribers who may want to take advantage of display ads and searching texts through the mobile phones.
According to Benjamin Schachter, an analyst from Broadpoint Amtech, even though Google do not admit it, the company is trying to build up their hardware business through the Google Webstore. This will be their online website where people can buy the Nexus One and other devices that are based on the Android technology.
As of today, Nexus One is not available in any retail stores. The HTC-built smartphone that has runs on Android 2.1 can be availed for $529 exclusively at the Google Webstore. But you can get it for only $179 if you would sign up for a contract, which would last for two years, with T-Mobile. iSuppli said that Nexus One’s hardware parts can reach up to $174.15 each.
Benjamin Schachter also mentioned that if the Nexus One became a success, other companies and rivals of Google will also introduce hardware not only mobile phones but also tablets, netbooks, and other portable devices.
Nexus One is considered as one of the mobile ambitions of Google.
