We don't need more junk to communicate with. The innovation is great but communication is just that. I am not excited about computer phones. If I had a billion dollars and wanted to contact someone to buy something---I can still use an in line phone to make my purchase!

First and Foremost developers are having a hard time in bringing workable apps that work across the OS platform for the Android handset world. So, I am assuming that Google anticipated in making their Nexus One prepared to ward off a downside in sales once most consumers realize that the promoted 10,000 Android apps don't really work that well or at all. Secondly their must be some negotiable terms for the Nexus One to work with non contractual companies like Virgin Mobile etc. If so, this will appeal to a much wider consumer base, in which to have a dream phone in which the consumer can control the monthly or yearly expense. In any case the Phone will sell, however I think their are a-lot of competitive phones on the market right now. This will include the HTC Pro -2.

Perhaps the folks at Verizon didn't understand Mr. Hopkins!

You will probably be the first to accept the microchip implant after they brainwash you on how great it is.

More competition is better. We had Verizon years ago. Their customer service is NO service--It's horrible, cell , business and home phone--all bad. We switched the cell to Virgin Mobile and customer service is fair, but on-line and cell service is good and a good value. The whole family has pay as you go phones. Just a little personal discipline with calls is needed. Never a contract again for us. God Bless you Clark and your Crew and your Family for having a decent, honest radio program that helps folks out!

This is by far the most interesting and hopeful Clark news in awhile. The cellphone industry has screwed us for so long. I've been with most em. AT&T, Verizon/Alltel, T-mobile, sprint and even virgin a few small local carriers in the early days. They all have their pros and cons but everyone charges too much for the services they provide. The gimmick for a longtime but more so now has been to offer a cell that was made for less than $40 yet is listed at $300 plus retail, offer that cell for $50-$100 with a 2 year contract and most think they're getting a deal. How we and our government, the entity that is suppose to be protecting the people, has not already dealt with these corporate monsters, shows us how embedded the corporates are in our government. Look at Obama and the new debate of rules for health insurers, he's asking them what he should do! I could go into it but I'll stop. Google good, government bad.

Maybe this will get Apple to cut their prices. I for one do not own an I phone
because quite frankly, there is too much
hype for having all that junk in the palm of your hand. Maybe Google will come up with a way to drive your car with their phone or open your garage door or develop a security watch for your home.Who knows what else!!!
