Interesting to see HTC assembly lines, show Google openness about the Nexus One.
Wonder what "Day one" is going to be...

Thank you.
I would not... I like capitalisme! :-)

I know that you can find common features between Android and Windows (no status bar at the top though :-))/Linux but the point of the post is more to say that for someone who is using a Mac everyday, there are alternative to the iphone and in this case Android is the best option (rather than RIM, Windows Mobile, Nokia...).
It is only to be seen as a Google vs Apple point of view.

Yes, this is what I mean. You can use Google email platform with a client on your computer but you are missing a lot compare to the web interface... IMHO.

Fingers crossed! :-)

It is also on pre-order on expansys UK. The interesting bit is the product code:
Mfr Part #: HTCPASSION_GRY_UK

There it is only pre-order, no price:

Supported locations for merchants
Currently, developers in the below countries may register as Google Checkout merchants and sell priced applications:
Austria
France
Germany
Italy
Japan
Netherlands
Spain
United Kingdom
United States
We're working hard to add more countries, but we're unable to provide any guidance on timelines. Please stay tuned!

It has been like that for too long, Google should have added more countries long time ago! Simple economic: more clients means cheaper prices!

Ireland... A country where Google have their European HQ!...

Well, HTC is making the Nexus One. Rumor is that Motorola will have the honor of making the second one... I don't think Motorola and HTC see Google as a competitor, more like a partner.
Google wants just one thing, get as much people as possible to use Android!

Lots of people are comparing Android and Apple iphone. Yes, it will take time for Google to beat Apple, they probably will never be able to but they won't have any problem taking market shares from Nokia/Symbian and Microsoft. And they (Nokia and Microsoft) know it. Nokia just release a free navigation app to prove it..!
