We Interrupt this Program... Google Nexus One

I hate to interrupt the countdown of 2009's best but it must be done for this announcement (that Apple can be thankful won't impact their win from 2009): the Google phone is both very real and very live. Being called a "beautiful, sexy mess" and an "iphone on beautifying steroids" by some twitter users it is a foregone conclusion of who the game changing winner of 2010 will be for best mobile release... and it's not even out yet.

The google phone (which has been rumored for at least two years now) is finally real and beat the apple tablet out of the gate. It is rumored to be carried by google directly as well as potentially through some other mobile characters.

This IS going to be a game changer, on that I am willing to bet. Am all of a sudden very thankful that I resisted the peer pressure to buy an iphone (a genuinely great product) but am pretty amped that I will be without any contract tie-downs when Google releases this beast unlocked in January 2010. Oh yeah, it is said to be running Android 2.1 (an as of yet unreleased version), will be able to download at over 7mb per second (!!!) and was co-created with HTC so that all of the Google software and Android 2.1 platform run smooth as ice.

Look for your Google x HTC "nexus one" early January 2010 and plan on popularity that will make queues for the iphone look like a joke. Keep your eyes peeled on Gizmodo for more info and future updates!

Story confirmed this morning by google: ending speculation that the phone was little more than Twitter gossip.

Honda EV-N

Me Likey. New concept from Honda (obviously environmentally friendly) to be shown in "near-finished form" at the Tokyo Motor Show. Perhaps the raddest part? Or most ridiculous part? I haven't yet decided... but see the video below. Yeah-- that comes as a removable unit from the door in the present model. AWESOME--functionality of a segway... and somehow makes you look even more like a clown.

Doesn't matter, I'll take one.

Sony Has Lost Their Collective Mind

"Welcome to the future." Though we've probably been expecting technological developments like this for ages (since the Jetsons really) Sony confirmed yesterday that they are working on a 3D Bravia television to be released in the near(ish) future. They also confirmed that they will be working to support the Playstation 3 via this new platform (virtual reality in your living room? Wooooot).

Can you say: Denno Senshi Porygon? Me neither... but I don't want any seizures.
