More problems with the branding of Google's "Nexus One" handset were claimed today, as it was highlighted that Mountain View has not secured the relevant web addresses.
The firm's first foray into physical retailing was announced at the Googleplex on Tuesday.
Today it emerged that Nexusone.com has been owned by Peter Villanueva of Portland, Oregon, since 1998. It's used to redirect to a web design services site and a paint shop. He might like to call Mountain View to see what they'll offer him.
Nexusone.co.uk is meanwhile occupied by a British musician named Sion, who is promoting his "fusion of ambient, dance, trance, drum 'n' bass and jazz". (Warning: page automatically plays some of Sion's "smoky jazz".)
