Good reality check: Just the facts baby!
Sales of Google’s Nexus One phone in the US have paled in comparison to the iPhone.
After 74 days, the Nexus One has sold an estimated 135,000 units, according to mobile analytics firm Flurry. By that point in 2007, Apple announced it had sold a million iPhones.
A total flop.

Today The New York Times launched his new marketing campaign “numbers” against The Wall Street Journal.
A very aggressive one.
Yes, the “numbers” are very impressive, but…
If you are a leader, you don’t start to look back over your shoulder…
Except if your follower is coming very fast.
And that’s the case.
So, the market reacted as expected: the shares of The New York Times went down almost 5 per cent.
Tim Cook, the Apple’s Chief Operating Officer, will receive a one-time bonus of $5 million and 75,000 in restricted shares for running the company during Steve Jobs’ medical leave last year.
A regulatory filing submitted by the company on Friday says that he stock units will be vested on March 10, 2011 and March 10, 2012 in equal amounts, pending Cook’s continued employment with Apple.
As I explained in my TABLETMANIA blog, he is “the next Steve Jobs.”
More about Tim Cook here.
A very good one for sure.
