  • Abstract:  It€s a funny thing, Android. It€s open source, but it€s not. You can use the code to do whatever you want with it, for free, but if you want all those Google apps like Gmail, Google Maps and the Android Market download store, you need to agree to play bal...

  • Abstract:  The Nexus S sees Google return to hardware after the mixed success of last year's Nexus One. This time built by Samsung it is questionable as to whether the market really needs an official ‘Googlephone', but it should be the handset of choice for anyone w...

  • Camera aside, there's very little wrong with the Google Nexus S. It's big screen is perfect for media use, the thin dimensions help to make it feel smaller than it actually is, and it's packed with features. Overall, the Google Nexus S is a very impres...
