Why Google Needs to Step Up It's Game

At CES last year, Google unveiled a revolutionary device that was lightyears ahead of the Android's at the time.  The Nexus One had an AMOLED display screen, a unheard of 1GHz Snapdragon processor, and most of all Froyo (Android 2.1).  This was almost twice as fast as the OG Droid's (600 MHz OMAP processor) processing speed, which at the time was already blazing fast.  After the showing of the Nexus One, it completely and utterly destroyed the Motorola Droid in a speed test.

The Nexus S's release was not so emaculate.  It basically was basically an attempt to catch up with the rest of the Android Armada.  The specs were not so impressive.  There were just two specs that were truly revolutionary like it's older brother:  an NFC chip and Gingerbread (Android 2.3).

So what does this mean?  If there is going to be a Nexus Three or a similarly named device to come that I believe will be made by Motorola as a way for Google to spread the Google Experience love.  First HTC and now Samsung, it should be Motorola which is a device I truly look forward for its unveiling possibly later this year.  For the next Nexus it should be revolutionary like the first, blowing all the competition out of the water and not just a chance to pay for the next Google Experience.  If the Nexus series phones are supposed to be used for (mainly) development, then why not give developers a chance to keep their phone at it's "high end" status for longer than the average android life-span of about three months.
