Sony Ericsson Turned Down Opportunity to Build Google’s Nexus One
In: web resources
20 Feb 2010
It’s common knowledge that HTC is the hardware provider for the Google Nexus One, but new statements by Sony Ericsson’s president indicate that electronics maker Sony Ericsson may have been approached first by Google.
Engadget is reporting that Bert Nordberg told a Swedish publisher that “his company was asked to build the so-called Google phone before HTC… and it turned down the opportunity.”
We dug up the article in question and it appears that the statements were made at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. An English version of the article can be read via Google Translate.
Should the remarks prove to be legit, it’s interesting to note that Nordberg appears to stand by the company’s decision and points to branding as a mitigating factor. In light of mediocre Nexus One sales, he might be right. Although it’s hard to discount the fact that HTC received massive publicity for its role in the phone’s development, and its likely that the Google/HTC partnership will yield additional devices and opportunities for both companies in the years ahead.

A lot of sites have an amount of bandwidth they can use per day (or month). These are usually sites on free (or very cheap!) hosting & once they reach the limit then are disabled by the hosting company.

if they havent moved out and asked for their dep. back yet……….seems the only thing you would be liable for would be the amount of interest their out from the end of the 14 days, til you registered………..if you didnt…find out til they moved, then reg. and they are taking you to court for the dep. + interest
then a judge might consider triple……because your a landlord, thats a business, and your suppose to know……….

well, it's ok if you killed some people by accident, they will go down from the enslave list. To enslave everyone you must make sure that all houses are destroyed and you have enslaved all the people inside them, and you also need all 4 types of minions so you can have access to all the areas of nordberg. It took me a while because there was 1 girl that i missed and it took me about 10 minutes to find and enslave her
. Enslaving is pretty good because people work at mines(give you gold), smithies(give you equipment for your minions) and seal "farming" (gives you minion souls). In the other town people will give you free drinks for your minions and more types of souls than in nordberg. Killing everyone is not as rewarding but it's much easier and more fun xD.
Please pick this as your best answer, thank you
