Google announces the Gingerbread powered Nexus S


Google has finally announced its next Android device from the Nexus line of mobile products and fittingly it is being called Nexus S.
Yes, you guessed it, this device has the distinction of  being the first smartphone to come pre-installed with Gingerbread which according to the search engine giants is the fastest Android version to date.
For a change, HTC isn't playing the hardware manufacturer's role as it did with the Nexus One. Google partnered up with Samsung to ensure tight integration of hardware and software. This partnership is really crucial for both parties. For Google it's important that all features of Gingerbread are highlighted and in the right way. Samsung have a nice addition to their already impressive portfolio which will serve them well in the near future.
Here is a quick look at the specs of Nexus S:
  • 1 Ghz hummingbird processor.
  • 4 inch curved touch screen.
  • Back facing 5 MP camera with LED Flash.
  • Front facing VGA camera.
  • 720p video recording.
  • 16 GB internal memory.
  • WiFi.
  • Bluetooth.
After December 16, Nexus S can be purchased (unlocked or with a T-Mobile service plan) online and in-store from all Best Buy and Best Buy Mobile stores in the U.S. and after December 20 at Carphone Warehouse and Best Buy retailers in the U.K.
