Nexus One, CES, and what I’m up to

To be totally honest, I’m not all that thrilled about the Nexus One.  Yes, it’s powerful and sleek, but like I said on Betanews today, it’s not about the device…the big deal is that it’s available across multiple carriers and directly from Google.

So yeah, that’s something, but I have CES to think about.

I’m heading over to CES Unveiled or Unleashed or Unchained or whatever the fuck it’s called, where there are going to be a number of Android devices, including the Sygus V1*  and perhaps the Android Tablet.

I’ll update later.

*Android device names +1 are starting to really rub me the wrong way.  G1, A1, Nexus One, V1… I mean, it’s like car names.  If I tell you I’ve got a Pinto, you have a clear picture what i’m talking about…but if I say ZX20, or TR-7, or I30, or whatever, you may know what I’m talking about, but the name lacks a hell of a lot of punch.  It’s like naming your child “Blitzwing Traurig Smith” versus naming him “John Smith VII.”   One’s just much more evocative.
