Google [HTC] Nexus One ads taking on Apple strategy
Posted on 08. Feb, 2010 by zevmo.
Using advertising techniques reminiscent of post-release Apple products, Google crafted a set of YouTube videos touting the Nexus One Mobile smart phone. These videos are exceptionally well done, and are quite convincing. After a week engagement with an HTC myTouch (Android OS 1.6), I would have been a little hesitant to even try another Android [...]
