Nexus One FTW! ROFLBBQ!<\/p>\n<p>So, I got my Nexus One from Eric the other day when we were out for coffee&#8230; and I&#8217;ve gotta say, this thing kicks ass. I&#8217;ve got myself one of those new 32GB cards LOADED with all of those &#8220;inappropriate type&#8221; apps that we turned away from the App Store, and I got them all for free! As a matter of fact, I&#8217;m sending this email from my Nexus right now&#8230; LOL! So, get out while you can. I&#8217;m a fan and as of this moment we&#8217;re going to stop work on the iPhone software and port Android over to the new iPhone 3D. Oh, and we&#8217;re gonna sell it unlocked to.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve decided that instead of being a ruthless dictator I&#8217;m going to let our customers do whatever they want with the products that they buy from us. There&#8217;s just no way we can compete by overcharging for a sub standard experience when there is a totally open source product out there that is just so much better!<\/p>\n<p>OK, I&#8217;m going to use the navigation on this thing for the first time to find myself the nearest tattoo joint and have that cute little green android inked onto my right butt cheek, right next to Sergey&#8217;s signature.<\/p>\n<p>PEACE!!!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>That&#8217;s right, folks!
