Apple co-founder picks Nexus One over iPhone? NBC has reported this week that Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak has moved on from the iPhone to the Nexus One, the latest Android device, and a direct rival to Apple's product.
When asked what his favorite phone device was, "Woz" said "Well, it's the latest one. It's a non-Apple product, but it's a gadget that just came out yesterday." This was one day after the Nexus One was released.

The news may not be so surprising especially since Woz has jailbroken his iPhone 3G, and even criticized Apple for the first iPhone and its lack of 3G support.

After the report however, Woz cleared up any misunderstandings by admitting that the Nexus One is in fact is favorite new gadget but that he still owns two iPhones, and has been known to carry three phones on him at one time.

I'd like to be able to play with the Droid or Nexus, but there's nowhere in town to do that.

with the way he was dissing the droid you'd have thought he was still on apples payroll.

the iphones days are numbered, at least in its current non-unlockable-closed-development form. apple already said that the new iphone coming out in june is going to have drastic changes to the OS.
