Just recently, Google hosted a big event launching its latest Nexus One, the first model created on the Android 2.1 operating system (OS). The event mostly centered on the Android 2.1 OS and what the user's can expect from Google's latest. And now, the developers and users can get their hands on the Android 2.1 SDK and start availing of its features. So what exactly would make users love this Android 2.1? Here are some of the features you might love about the new OS:

Multiple emails

The new OS is capable of opening more than one Gmail account via the same inbox. This is especially useful for people who have multiple Gmail accounts, which when you think about it is practically everyone. Hence, you don't have to make switches anymore, subtracting the hassle of setting up two separate accounts.

Photo gallery

The photo gallery will be grouped according to dates, time, and location. This translates to a much more coordinated album. What's more, you'll be able to do your browsing via a 3D wall, which Google has adapted from COOLIRIS.

Living wallpapers

Although for some, this feature could just be one way of wasting your battery, others may find an interactive wallpaper a novelty. Especially for those who want their phones to look pretty, the interactive wallpaper feature can be one of the most attractive attribute of the Android 2.1.

Voice controls

Some people count this as an amazing feature. Imagine being able to send emails and tweets via voice directions. Now, isn't that cool? You can tell the phone what you want and it will take you there via specific voice directions. With this feature, people could find greatly increased efficiency in their daily lives, not to mention that it sounds like something out of a futuristic movie.

Weather application

It provides per minute updates via GPS and gives information ranging from temperature and humidity in your location.

Google Earth

Granted, this is not entirely new since iPhone already has Google Earth. However, some users may find that Android 2.1's Google Earth has a few tweaks that put it a few notches cooler than iPhone's.

Automatic phonebook

This device is relatively easy to use. The only thing you have to do is sign up on your Google account via phone, and just like that, everything's updated. User friendly at its best, once connected, it can automatically pull up relevant information without too much problems.

The application becomes more efficient too. No longer do you have to drag--all you have to do is tap and the application zooms in. Now, isn't that great? There are actually various features that you might love about Google's Android 2.1, but so far these are the ones you might want to watch out for.

The news about Google’s Nexus One smartphone was, of course, met with much enthusiasm and excitement. After all, leaked plans point to a Google that didn’t hold back in terms of features and options. Techie fans can’t wait. But questions are rife. People are asking if there are more to expect from the company, especially since they seem to have gone all out on the Nexus One smartphone.

Introducing Nexus One

The anticipation for Nexus One is not surprising. After all, the Android phone is packed with so much, and can easily be projected as one of the most in-demand phones once it becomes available.

Of course, a phone such as this comes with an above average price tag. The unlocked and unsubsidized price of Nexus One phone is $530. Single line plan holders can get it for $80 a month while new T-Mobile subscribers can have it for $180 for a two-year locked contract. Others will have to get the phone for its retail price.

Perfect timing

In any case, the product launch couldn’t come at a better time. With just two days before the Consumer Electronics Show, the Nexus One is clearly set to become one of the expo’s main draw. And what better way to create buzz than through the expo’s tech industry movers and shakers. By announcing the product before the expo, Google is preempting other mobile industry announcements scheduled during the conference.

Turning partners into competition

One of the criticisms put forth regarding Google’s Android phone is how it might have inadvertently caused a rift between the company and its partners. For one thing, the Android technology was developed for these partners, such as Motorola and T-Mobile. Instead, Google turns around and releases its own phone.

Of course, Google has the freedom to do this. And, it has the might to take on any industry or sector that it wants. However, industry analysts are quick to advise the corporate giant to rein itself, else it might lose credence with the other industry players.

Future releases

This early, there are already talks about future Nexus One releases. After all, a company like Google is not likely to sit on its laurels.

Many are saying that there are going to be changes in the Android OS this early. Add to that, they say that Google may have other tech goodies up its sleeve today and in the near future. Likewise, people are waiting for announcements on the number and list of handset makers that the company has agreed to work with.

In all, this sums up to a great buzz for Google’s Nexus One. Surely, there are more to expect from the company.
