How Carriers and Phone Makers Are Strangling Android (And How Google Could Save It)

Probably the must read Giz commentary in relation to the subject,guys and gals.

Nexus One running hardware list
For the more discerning/nitpicking droid nerds here (I mean that in a good way mind you).

* Proximity Sensor/Light Sensor: Capella CM3602 per sensors.mahimahi.so in Nexus One ROM Dump.
* Accelerometer: BMA150 3-axis Accelerometer per sensors.mahimahi.so in Nexus One ROM Dump.
* Magnetic Compass: AK8973 3-axis Magnetic field sensor/AK8973 Orientation sensor per sensors.mahimahi.so in Nexus One ROM Dump.
* Wifi Radio / Bluetooth / FM: BCM4329 in lib/modules
* In libaudio.so I found “Routing audio to Speakerphone with back mic” reference.
* In libaudio.so I found “Stereo FM speaker” also referenced.
* Audience A1026 Noise Canceling Chip – No link but here is the A1024 found in libaudio.so
* Qualcomm QSD8K Specific hardware libs in lib/hw (QSD8250 Probably)
* Adreno 200 Graphics Core with OpenGLES 2.0 – Part of Snapdragon?
* Camera Info Vague, found some references to auto focus, flash, white balance and anti-banding in libcamera.so

Still an unconfirmed rumor bro.Remember last time of that iSuppli's iPhone teardown at $180 cost per unit?N1 probably cost a bit higher and Google still have to put percentages to partner HTC.Unless if Google are dead serious about up-ending the entire mobile phone industry for real.
