The beez world of phones (News, Tips, Information)
Linus Torvald bought a Google Nexus One
Linus Torvald, the father of Linux kernel, one of the most repected man in open source community, has bought a Nexus One and he loves it. If you are still wondering why this is significant, let me tell you: without him, there will be no Linux and Android and thus Nexus One, because he is the original creator of Linux kernel, which Android is created upon.
According to his own blog, he tries to use Linux based mobile phone and had tried a few before, and:
I have to admit, the Nexus One is a winner. I wasn’t enthusiastic about buying a phone on the internet sight unseen, but the day it was reported that it finally had the pinch-to-zoom thing enabled, I decided to take the plunge. I’ve wanted to have a GPS unit for my car anyway, and I thought that google navigation might finally make a phone useful.
Welcome onboard, Linus.
