Apple's iPhone 4 is pretty much accepted by all to be the best smartphone when it comes to industrial design. Say what you want about Apple's closed ecosystem, iOS and relationship with developers but you can't knock that beautiful handset.
We love Google. Specifically, we love Google search. That's not to say we don't love their Gmail. Or their Google Docs for that matter. It's just that, well, search is what makes the internet merry-go-round work. Before Google we had AltaVista and co, and we all remember how poor that was!
If you're obsessed about privacy, this should be a bad day for you: according to a research done over at CNET, Google is tracking users through their individual device addresses and making them searchable. How does it work? We'll explain.
If reports are to be believed, Google is working on yet another Android smartphone, successor to the current Nexus S.

Wallpapers are the strangest things. Chances are they're one of the things you see most on a device, especially on a smartphone.

Independent developers have a finite amount of time in which to put together their smartphone apps, and they obviously want to get the maximum return on their work. Taking their Android apps and porting them across to iOS is certainly a time consuming practice, assuming the particular developer has the technical know-how to do the work.
Over the years, the blogosphere has made fun of Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg. College Humor, a website known for its numerous comedy sketches, is now poking fun at the company as well.

If we are indeed looking at the 3rd Nexus phone, it would point to HTC being the manufacturer of choice once more after Google dropped the company it used for the Nexus One in favor of Samsung when it came time to bring the Nexus S into the world.
