    Actually, that’s not true, A+, because the device itself is basically just a phone without abundant product/application support behind it. That’s what differentiates regular handsets and true smartphones. The NO may become an equal to the iPhone in the distant future IF–AND ONLY IF–developers support the platform with the same app base as the iPhone has NOW.

    That, in essence, is the true difference between the Nexus One and the iPhone: NO and NOW.
