… this according to everyone who really wants more from Google. As Google Launched it’s Nexus One, stock and reaction remained steady losing 0.44 on the day to close at $623.99 in comparison to Apples whopping 3.4 percent increase on December 24, 2009 just based on sheer speculation of their Tablet, but why the difference in treatment?
My guess is that Google is serious, and wants to be taken seriously as a contender in the mobile arena and will take less glam and a little more steady stride. I say this because that’s just Google’s style with just about everything, and let’s be fair, they really don’t have a Steve Jobs to demonstrate the kitchen table and napkin kind of passion over retail products- Apple’s got a little practice in nuance.
But looking at the landscape, reviews of the actual phone were favorable, noting it as an incremental improvement over Droid. This alone signals to us that Google’s real focus is to jump into retail, and our suspicion is that their real aim is to push the Android operating system.
As real estate agent mobile tools go, I’m really digging an all around alternative to Windows that is not only mobile but on my desktop and stored in the cloud that bundles Maps, Business Directory, Talk, Wave, Voice, Search, Docs, Calendar, GMail, Goggles, Alerts, and more in my hand- my mobile office in a way that makes sense (take the phone’s tour).
