I’m proud of the UK tech community, but we need to sell ourselves better. Indeed, I took particular offence during yesterday’s Nexus One launch:

“Is this an iPhone killer?”

Lazy, ill-informed journalism. (And that’s before he’s even written the article).

So lets make it really simple with a nice chart. Why Google doesn’t want Nexus One to be an iPhone killer:

Google’s mobile strategy has always been a mass market, platform play. If you’re going to make lazy comparisons, compare them to Microsoft not Apple.

So today is the day that the Nexus One arrives, which everyone agrees is a *big deal*.

Not exactly fresh news, but you might not know that Andrew Eland, the Google UK Mobile Team Lead, is speaking at this month’s #geomob coming on January 21st.
