Google sells out of Nexus Ones for devs, ‘working hard’ to get more; SLCD not alleviating backorders yet
The Nexus One retail situation has been pretty dire since Google humanely put down its own online store , leaving only paid developers with an easy option to get an unlocked unit (and only an AWS 3G version at that).

Verizon quietly pushes Skype Mobile onto select non-smartphones
Back in February, Verizon Wireless made it quite clear what phones could be used with Skype Mobile, and the whole lot were smartphones . Sometime between then and now, however, it seems as if the carrier (or Skype... or both) has had a change of heart, as today a select few non -smartphones are showing up in its database as being compatible with Skype Mobile .

In Google’s absence, HTC starts hawking Nexus One accessories
It's bad enough that Google decided to stop selling the Nexus One directly -- especially since the AT&T-friendly 850 / 1900MHz version is nigh impossible to find now -- but what sucks even more is that existing owners have been in peril of being left high and dry for accessorizing their increasingly rare little gems. Thankfully, the Nexus One's manufacturer has stepped in to fill the void, offering the full range first-party goodies including the car dock, desktop dock, holster, and rear covers in a range of eye-popping colors.

DARPA and NIST testing real-time translation system for use in Afghanistan… with a Nexus One
DARPA has long been working on making real-time translation systems practical and portable , and it looks like it's now closer than ever to its goal -- although it can't necessarily take all the credit. The research agency recently teamed up with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (or NIST ) to test three different systems as part of its TRANSTAC project, at least one of which relies on none other than a Nexus One to do real-time, spoken language translation from Pashto to English, and vice versa.
