I am cautiously interested in buying an unlocked Galaxy Nexus. It is a five month old Android phone afterall (originally released on November 17, 2011). Two questions come to mind:
- Has the Galaxy Nexus been selling well at all?
- When will the next Google’s “pure Android” phone will be out?
Personally I was disappointed with Google’s Nexus One as it was over-promised and under-delivered. I do not know yet if I want to buy this unlocked Galaxy Nexus.

Facebook to acquire Instagram, would iOS users still friend Android users?
Facebook announces the acquisition of Instagram for approximately $1 billion. From Facebook Newsroom:
MENLO PARK, CALIF.—April 9, 2012—Facebook announced today that it has reached an agreement to acquire Instagram, a fun, popular photo-sharing app for mobile devices.
The total consideration for San Francisco-based Instagram is approximately $1 billion in a combination of cash and shares of Facebook. The transaction, which is subject to customary closing conditions, is expected to close later this quarter.
Would iOS users still friend Android user on Facebook? When Instagram for Android was released about a week ago some elitist iOS users were not too happy about it.
You can never win.
There’s a general assumption that the house always wins I’m not talking about a casino, but Microsoft Store. Forget about the “Smoked by Windows Phone” publicity stunt. There is no way any challengers could win because Microsoft keeps changing the boundary conditions and the rule.
Heads out to Skatter Tech and read the post titled I Won The Windows Phone Challenge, But Lost “Just Because”.
Shameless marketing ploy by Microsoft.
