Google's Nexus One - Total Cost Of Ownership

Yesterday saw the official release of the Nexus One from Google. This is the first time that any phone has been available for purchase unlocked and available for purchase at a discounted rate with a TMobile Contract.

With the smartphone wars continuing to heat up, the Nexus One is enters into a marketplace that is currently dominated by the iPhone 3GS and the gaining popularity of the Droid by Verizon Wireless.

BillShrink have put together a convenient overview of the overall total cost of ownership of the Nexus One vs. iPhone vs. Droid vs. Palm Pre:

Nexus One vs iPhone, Droid & Palm Pre

It's crazy to think how much we spend on phones over the years. I might revert back to bean cans and string.

Google CEO Eric Schmidt Bails From Apple Board

CUPERTINO, California—August 3, 2009—Apple® today announced that Dr. Eric Schmidt, chief executive officer of Google, is resigning from Apple’s Board of Directors, a position he has held since August 2006.

“Eric has been an excellent Board member for Apple, investing his valuable time, talent, passion and wisdom to help make Apple successful,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “Unfortunately, as Google enters more of Apple’s core businesses, with Android and now Chrome OS, Eric’s effectiveness as an Apple Board member will be significantly diminished, since he will have to recuse himself from even larger portions of our meetings due to potential conflicts of interest. Therefore, we have mutually decided that now is the right time for Eric to resign his position on Apple’s Board.”

It was only a matter of time. I don’t see this negatively affecting Apple in the long run, though the speculation surrounding recent events could put fuel to the fire that this ‘mutual decision’ wasn’t so mutual.

Thoughts?
