Google pumped out its Nexus One touchscreen handset product during an exclusive press event, which Mediacells wasn't invited to. 

Developed in partnership with Korean 'smartphone' maker, HTC, the Nexus One is the first Google-branded entry into the cut-throat global mobile phone market.

The Nexus One runs the latest version of Google’s Android mobile operating system where users can dictate their e-mails, text messages, tweets, Facebook entries and even Google searches. 

The phone trumps the Apple ‘Jesus’ phone with effective noise cancellation features for improved voice quality and speech recognition. 

In terms of widgets and apps, the new Android interface is hugely improved to incorporate live data feeds from web services like Facebook.

And just as Mediacells announces, in its forthcoming 2010 Immaculate Predictions quarterly report, the Google cognoscenti have binned the outmoded, some might say, fogeyish term 'smartphone' and redubbed the new breed of mobile device 'Superphones' instead.

The phone is available on T-Mobile to begin with and will then roll out to Verizon and Vodafone by March time.
