Nexus Negative One by John LeMasney via lemasney.com<\/p><\/div>\n

On Early Adoption and the Nexus<\/h3>\n

I am a technologist, but I’m not generally an early adopter<\/a>. Part of being a technologist for me is letting other people kick the tires so that I personally can benefit from their costs, repairs, mistakes, and teachable moments. I’m not saying all techs do this, but I do. I like stability in my software and hardware and services. I have some exceptions, and Google<\/a>‘s first foray into phone software, Android, is a key example, and one I’ve not regretted.<\/p>\n

I pre-ordered the G1 in November of 2008, and while I’ve certainly not regretted my purchase (it’s better than any handheld device<\/a> I knew of or owned previous to it, phone or otherwise), I’ve been somewhat jealous as new phones running the OS<\/a>, such as Verizon<\/a>‘s Droid, have come onto the scene. The G1, though, has not failed me — it gives me what I need in a phone, a set of applications, and functions, generally speaking. I could use an upgrade on the camera. At any rate, this sketch is a tribute to my trusty G1 from T-Mobile<\/a>, who I’ll likely stay with when I upgrade to the Nexus One<\/a> or two or three, which is the point of the text there.<\/p>\n

I feel like the G1 was a great first step towards the Nexus One, a “Negative One” of sorts. I do not intend for this to be derogatory though I am really looking forward to the release of Google’s N1. Google is doing great things in lots of areas, but the Android operating system<\/a> is a killer set of apps, and the Nexus One seems like a great home for it.<\/p>\n
