Actually, if you look it says the N1 is micoUSB:

Back / Bottom

[6] Camera
[7] Camera flash
[8] Speaker
[9] Dock pin connectors
[10] Micro USB port

So as I said, the N1 may be micro. I didn't pay attention.

He's saying that it's MiniUSB for charging, not that it's MiniSD for storage, it's confirmed that it's MicroSD for storage, I had just assumed that it would also be MicroUSB for charging. All in all, this is a little confusing...

I thought it was the new MacroUSB? :confused:

According to the specs I have it's mini.

But I will be honest, I didn't inspect the jack on either. So I will defer to the documentation...

Don't get me wrong, I would prefer mini because of all the stuff I already have laying around from my htc touch, but I think it's micro, unfortunately for us.

Don't worry, Micro seems to be the new standard, and soon you will have 4-5 laying around and they'll change the standard again.
 
The US Nexus 1 is micro USB, according to Google's phone site:

NKT, since you have had the phone in your hand I have a question. I may be in the minority here, but the shape of the back of the phone is still kinda bugging me. It looks a little quirky when you compare it to more polished devices like the iphone, N1 or even the Eris. In the history of cell phones I do not ever remember seeing such an obscure back plate on a phone. I believe in a previous post you mentioned that the phone did not feel as good in your hand as the N1. Do you feel this was because of the odd shape of the back? Do you think the grooves in the back serve some functional purpose such as helping you type on the phone when it is held sideways? Other than the added weight of the structure to support it I do not understand why they did not put a more conservative back on the phone. I guess the inside of the phone is far more important, but I am wondering if there are people who will pass on the phone for this reason. Maybe we should just be happy that it is not longer red. Anyway, any input would be appreciated. Thanks for all the "dirt" so far!

I'm not buying that, because if that's all they were interested in they wouldn't be investing the billions they recently publicly talked about in a new broadband infrastructure that will boast speeds of 100 mbps.

In fact my city (Ann Arbor, MI) is in the running to be the one of the first they are going to build the network in. Of course it doesn't hurt that Google's Ad Words office is located here either, which employs over 1,000 people. So they're more inclined to take care of their own first. :D

So for better or worse Google is extending their reach into the hardware and infrastructure business and as I said earlier today, this all boils down to control.

If Google decided to get into the broadband infrastructure business... then they wouldn't be competing directly with their main customers. That would be bad for business. I don't know anything about the network stuff you mentioned, but it could be another way for Google to "jump start" an area of business in order to benefit them in other ways. This is what the N1 is essentially... a "reference" platform that ensures Android handset makers create competitive products and timely OS updates.

For example, computer processor manufacturers put out reference designs for their chips so people can purchase a reliable test platform. These manufacturers aren't trying to get rich off of these boards. Matter of fact they really want (and expect) end users to purchase solutions from motherboard/computer companies that use their processors. Their business is to sell CPUs, and the reference hardware is only to support that. In Google's case, they want you to use Android (and other Google products) and really don't care if you use it on the N1, Incredible, Desire, etc... as long as you are not using an Iphone, Pre, Storm2, or HD2. ;)
