Nexus

The family of author Philip K. Dick is suing Google over the name Nexus which he used in the novel Do Androids Dream of Electic Sheep, which in turn became the basis for the movie Blade Runner. As this article points out, it is quite ironic that Google named their Android-based phone after a line androids that killed its creator. Obviously there are no sci-fi fans in the Google marketing department.

Nexus One

Nexus One is an Android phone. Nothing wrong with that unless you are a programmer who likes to choose the languages in which you code. Last time I checked Java was still the only official choice. Other options were mentioned but it always seemed to require jumping through hoops. If I wanted to learn Java I would have done so years ago. No thanks.

As a programmer, if I were in the market for an expensive gadget, the Nokia N900 is far more appealing.
