\"\"<\/a>For various reasons, I’ve had plenty of free time on my hands lately.\u00a0 And since I’m an Android Guy, I was closely following the CES 2010 developments.\u00a0 I was also reading all I could about the Nexus One, what kind of impact that it was going to have on the smartphone market, and the wireless industry as a whole.\u00a0 With Google taking some unique and difficult directions, I wanted to see what the response was from the different tech reviewers, as well as the people who have been lucky (wealthy) enough to pick up an N1.<\/span><\/p>\n

Like most of you, I read a vast array of different media outlets – from the biggies like USA Today and CNN, down to individual blogs written by people I admire. As I was reading, I was starting to notice a trend in a many of the articles.\u00a0 What I was noticing was that in all the big media outlets, there was at least one, and in many cases two or three, articles which were trashing Google and the N1.<\/p>\n

For example, USA Today had an article up<\/a> talking about how the N1 is a failure from launch.\u00a0 Take a look at one of the quotes in the article:<\/p>\n

“This is an epic failure for Google,” says Rob Enderle, an independent analyst at the Enderle Group. “It tried to create an Apple-like experience, but it’s so far off from the Apple<\/a> experience, it’s not even on the same planet.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Notice the Apple comparison from Enderle that the author used. The writer goes on to talk about the different problems people are having from the support forums.\u00a0 Spotty 3g (which was a localized problem I was told), different small bugs and the such.\u00a0 I am used to seeing the N1 being compared to the iPhone, it is a natural comparison with all the hype and build up we created with the N1, but I was intrigued by the words the analyst used.\u00a0 “It tried to create an Apple-like experience,” I found this intriguing because I do not think Google was trying to do that at all, and has not done that with Android since launch. I believe that they have tried to go into a different direction, albeit there are certainly similarities in the two operating systems.<\/p>\n

ABC News released an article before the launch of the N1<\/a> that was geared totally towards the idea that Google is no Apple, and the N1 was nothing compared to iPhone, again something that I am used to reading, but there was a quote that stuck out to me:<\/p>\n
