The Google Phone identifies as an early replicant

Posted: 12 Dec 2009 11:17 PM PST

The Gruber brings us this bit of news: the new GPhone identifies as Nexus One in browsing logs. Five points to anyone who can remember what the Nexus models were?

In Blade Runner the Nexus Six models were the “rogue” replicants and someone – not saying who – was a Nexus Seven model.

So is Google saying they’re the Tyrell Corporation, working on the first off-world employees for their future colonies? Or is someone just playing a funny.

Super skinny media center PC fits behind your TV

piixl-edgecenter

I’ve never heard of Piixl but that doesn’t mean they can’t hold a place in my heart. This 3GHz Core 2 Duo machine mounts right behind your HDTV and will cost about $4,000, a pretty penny for something so thin and innocuous.

Called the EdgeCenter 3770 the device is designed to run home theatre and kiosk applications and remain completely out of sight. It’s a clever solution to the thorny problem of convincing the rich and famous to stick computers into their living rooms. Available right about now, but in the UK.

The Google Phone, Unlocked (Confirmed And More Details)

Posted: 12 Dec 2009 09:54 AM PST

Last night, we started seeing some Tweets from Google employees and others about a new Android-powered Google phone that was apparently handed out at an "all hands" meeting. Now Google is confirming that this indeed "dogfood" testing a new Android device with employees around the world. But this isn't just another Android phone. Very trustworthy sources who have seen the phone say that it is the Google Phone we first wrote about last month (despite the uninformed saying we were dreaming). It will be branded Google and sold by Google as an unlocked phone, which could change everything. The phone itself is being built by HTC, with a lot of input from Google.
