Nexus One and more, at the online Google Store!
`Curiouser and curiouser!’ cried Alice (she was so much surprised, that for the moment she quite forgot how to speak good English)…. Lewis Carroll, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland
Every now and then, I know how Alice must have felt.
Yesterday, as Google showed its new Nexus One smartphone, it ALSO announced that the device would be available through the online Google Web Store. Google’s store lets visitors take a 3D tour of the Nexus One, check out some of the available apps, and order the unlocked device, at $529 or the device with a two-year T-Mobile contract, at $179. More choices will be available in the future.
Significantly, Google’s model lets you choose the PHONE first, and then the CARRIER, Ben Parr, co-editor of the social-networking blog, Mashable.com, said, “”What it seems like Google is trying to do is disrupt the entire wireless carrier market.” You self-absorbed companies that congratulated yourselves that you were practicing “disruptive innovation” (No, I am certainly NOT talking about truly innovative companies like Apple!) may want to start paying attention now. 
The Google “Classic Home” page ALSO features a link to the Nexus One.
