Google’s Mario Queiroz has just rambled on about the history of Google Android, pointing out that one year ago the OS was supported by “One device in one country” and now runs on “more than 20 devices in 48 countries” – but that’s not all.
He also showed off the Nexus One. That’s it. It exists. It’s really called Nexus One. Google thinks it’s so amazing it should be called a “superphone” – it transcends mere smartphone status!
Mario then congratulated the Nexus One’s maker HTC in taking risks – and backing Android was a HUGE RISK this time last year, one that’s now paying off splendidly for HTC.

Motorola’s latest flagship dual-core Android monster is a massive, original powerhouse, that’s a big improvement on previous MOTOBLUR mobiles – but still isn’t a total winner.
A slim and glamorous phone from Sony Ericsson, with the sharpest display around. It’s no powerhouse and the screen’s not the biggest out there, but we don’t mind. Because it’s cute.
LG’s first glasses-free 3D phone is a heavy, fat monster, with a clever 3D effect that works rather well. As a smartphone, though, it’s heavy and underwhelming.
A very shiny thing from Sony Ericsson, with a 3.7″ screen and Android 2.3.3 inside. But is it exciting enough to win fans in today’s spec-obsessed market? Can man live on one core alone?
INQ’s Android phone is an interesting “boutique” piece of hardware, packed with unique interface customisations that go far beyond the headline Facebook integration. We like it a lot.
