What does the Nexus One mean for Google Voice, Apps?

With the clock ticking on tomorrow's unveiling of the Nexus One, it seems most of the focus has been on the hardware and plan details (see below). But looking at the Nexus One as just another Android phone that Google happens to sell is to miss its potential significance as a hardware platform for Google's increasingly popular software offerings. Specifically, the Nexus One could have big implications for Google Voice and Google Apps.

One of the ways that a Google-branded phone makes the most sense is as a platform for the company to expand the functionality and user base of Google Voice. With the Nexus One launch, we may see Google Voice open up to more users, and we might also see the introduction of long-awaited number portability to the service

Mission of Nombre de Dios

This huge stainless steel cross was raised in 1965 to celebrate 400 years of Christianity in what is now the United States. The Mission is located on the spot where the Spanish settlers first landed in 1565 to begin the settlement of St. Augustine. Recent archaeological digs have confirmed that the original settlement was located on this property and the adjacent Fountain of Youth property. 

 

 

Celebrating a Birthday

On January 3, 1920, Marjorie Barker was born in Chattooga County, Georgia. She was the fourth child of Lois Link and Adolphus Montgomery Barker. Her father nicknamed her "Tot" and although he died before her second birthday, the nickname followed her the rest of her life. Her first husband was killed during World War II and her second marriage ended in divorce. She raised three daughters (two shown here) and a son - teaching them by example that you can be anything you want to be if you're willing to work at it hard enough. She died of cancer in 1981 and is buried with her family in Georgia.

 

 

Llambias House

This view shows the garden and the back of the house. From the historical marker:
Fernandez-Llambias House

This house was already extant in 1763, when Spain ceded Florida to Great Britain. It was then a one-story, two-room, shingle-roofed coquina stone structure owned by Pedro Fernandez. A British owner added the loggia.

In 1784, when the Spanish returned, the Minorcan settlers brought to Florida by the British stayed. Their descendants too remained in 1821, when Florida became American. Two Minorcan brothers, Joseph and Peter Antonio Manucy, owned the house in 1838, adding the second story and the balcony. Dona Catalina Llambias, whose name the structure bears, bought it in 1854 and she and her family owned it for 65 years.
