The other day, I was astonished to learn that Microsoft had decided to drop its two brand-new smartphones, the Kin One and Kin Two. Oh, I suppose it wasn’t brand new. I mean, the two phones were almost two months old. That’s ancient for some technology. Nonetheless, after taking the time, effort and expense to acquire Danger…
Over the last few days, Google has released a series of videos documenting the development and manufacture of the Nexus One smartphone. The third in the series is one that filled me with a sense of dread and unease. The video reveals the testing procedure HTC (which manufactures the Nexus One) uses to determine if a phone is ready for release. HTC puts phones through a series of different tests to check durability and damage resistance. It’s fascinating stuff, though a little hard to watch if you’re a technophile like me.

We’ll also look at other news stories unrelated to CES. Is the tech industry emerging from the recession? Why are Nexus One owners upset at Google and how is the company responding? We’ll give you the full story today.

Happy holidays, TechStuff fans! Chris and I are currently taking a short break from filling orders from the North Pole (Santa tends to outsource these days and you wouldn’t believe how complicated it is to cobble together these darn Nexus One phones). That means we have enough time to bring you another installment of TechStuff Live at 1:00 p.m. Eastern, the show that delivers figurative steaming cups of technology news to your figurative hands. Think of us as figurative baristas.
