Sad face emoticon here.<\/p>\n<p>This continues Google&#8217;s (lovely) history of giving away handsets at events. At I\/O last year, all attendees were given special edition, I\/O-themed HTC Magics. At MWC 2010 in Barcelona, attendees of Google&#8217;s Developer events were given Nexus Ones. Devs were also offered the choice between a Nexus One and a Droid during IO registration &#8212;  so unless Google&#8217;s going to make these devs hand over the goods, some folks might be going home with not one, but <em>two<\/em> free toys. Not a bad deal.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/G_kMFWOPRLLYcbg3i92yyVo85fc\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/G_kMFWOPRLLYcbg3i92yyVo85fc\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/G_kMFWOPRLLYcbg3i92yyVo85fc\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/G_kMFWOPRLLYcbg3i92yyVo85fc\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Mobilecrunch?a=-hgaGBJvO8g:ZzO-Mjy_DOA:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Mobilecrunch?i=-hgaGBJvO8g:ZzO-Mjy_DOA:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Mobilecrunch?a=-hgaGBJvO8g:ZzO-Mjy_DOA:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Mobilecrunch?i=-hgaGBJvO8g:ZzO-Mjy_DOA:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Mobilecrunch?a=-hgaGBJvO8g:ZzO-Mjy_DOA:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Mobilecrunch?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Okay.
