Google Nexus One : L'histoire se répète pour Apple

MS DOS 6.2 BOOTUP DISK - Martin Deutsch (Flickr)

Steve Jobs doit avoir une impression de déjà vu...

Plus tôt cette semaine c'était le grand dévoilement du nouveau téléphone intelligent de Google, le Nexus One. Les plus geek d'entre nous on évidemment tous salivé devant le nouveau gadget, et avec raison, ça semble être un appareil génial. On dit du Nexus One qu'il est le premier téléphone mobile qui pourra concurrencer le iPhone d'Apple de façon sérieuse.

Le lancement s'est fait en grandes pompes. Google étant le géant qu'il est, tous les médias de masse en on fait la couverture. Il y a un truc qui m'a par contre frappé. On a parlé amplement des fonctionnalités du truc, de l'intégration de Google Earth et des autres produits de la firme, mais étrangement les commentateurs ne semblaient pas avoir bien compris la signification réelle de cette sortie. Est-ce que Google devient soudainement une entreprise de « hardware »? J'en doute fort.
