There is a huge competition by leading players like Apple, Samsung, Nokia, Motorola to dominate the smart phone industry. Now there is an another major competitor added to the list.It is the web gaint Google.

From past few years Google was involved in the Cellphone industry via its mobile O.S Android. Now after catching everyone's attention and having gained the momentum, Google is all set to sell its own phone, built by HTC and named the Nexus One.

The cell phone will be released in Jan 2010. It will sell the Google Phone online and the good news is it will be unlocked!!, so you’ll need to buy your cellular service separately. The software would be Android 2.1 and hardware will be built by HTC. 

 

Below is the extract from the leading social media site "Mashable" about the possible cell phone and its plan details

"Here are some of the key details you should know:

- Price: $530 unsubsidized and unlocked (ouch!), $180 subsidized on the T-Mobile network with a 2 year contract.
- Rate Plan: $79.99 per month on T-Mobile, which includes unlimited texting/MMS and web data, along with 500 minutes. This seems to be the only plan available, even if you’re already on another plan with T-Mobile
- Purchasing: You can buy up to five Nexus One phones per Google account.
- Cancellation: If you cancel within 120 days, you have to pay the subsidy difference ($350) or return the phone to Google.

Charging – The ‘Wireless’ Way

The next generation charging device is here; it’s called the ‘PowerMat’. This new gizmo can recharge all your portable devices wirelessly. Currently it supports all your favorite portable devices like iphone, all types of ipods, blackberry phones, Nintendo DS, GPS devices etc.

The device which looks like a surf board can charge up to 3 devices simultaneously. All you need to do is just connect the Powermat to power supply and place your device on the Powermat. Led lights on the Powermat indicate whether the device is charging or has been fully charged. Once the device is fully charged it automatically shuts off power to the device to save power.

Currently Powermat is priced at $99, which is affordable. It comes with a universal receiver with 8 tips which supports 8 devices. But the universal receiver can charge only once device at a time which is a drawback. The manufacturer of the Powermat is also selling custom cases, charging docks for popular devices like iphone, ipod, blackberry separately which are priced from $29.99-$39.99.
