Google ‘no longer investigating’ fix for Nexus One 3G issues, advises ‘changing your location’

Looking back through our archives, you’ll find plenty of user dissatisfaction with the 3G reception on Google’s Nexus One.

MOTO touchscreen comparison recruits robotic implements for heightened precision (video)

So you saw that the first MOTO smartphone touchscreen comparison was done with a fleshy humanoid controlling the testing finger and discounted it as scientifically flawed?

Apple vs. Google gets personal: ‘Steve Jobs simply hates Eric Schmidt’ (video)

Image Credit: Daniel Adel, New York Times Nothing sells papers (or ads) like turning a little corporate competition into something personal.

Verizon’s Nexus One to be sold only through Google, have Sense UI (or not)

This doesn’t come as much of a surprise, but Android Central seems to have obtained a screen shot from a deep, dark, top-secret Verizon system that indicated that the upcoming CDMA version of the Nexus One will be “available only through www.Google.com/Phones.” That, of course, matches T-Mobile’s strategy of quietly letting Google do its thing [...]

Google Earth now available on Android 2.1

After a totally nonchalant, non-announcement type of showing by Erick Tseng at Eric Schmidt’s MWC keynote last week (thanks to Phone Scoop for pointing that out), the Android version of Google Earth is now available in the Market for download to the Nexus One (and, in the future, “most” other devices running 2.1 or newer).
