Nexus Oneがちょっと不発だったGoogleですが、今度はSamsungからNexus Twoを出すかも、という噂です。
Samsung Mobile just sent out invites to select members of the press to inform them a new Android device will be unveiled on November 8th in New York city. No details were provided on what type of product will be announced, but based on the timing we would have to think this is their new Google-experience phone running stock Gingerbread (Android 2.3).11月8日にNYでSamsungモバイルによるプレスカンファレンスがあるらしく、そこでNexus Twoとされる端末が発表されるかも…と。ただ、ソースが何だか怪しい…wしかもGingerbreadってAndroid 3.0じゃなかったっけ…。
Via Samsung to announce Google-experience phone on Nov 8th?
Via Rumor: Samsung will announce the Nexus Two on November 8th
They describe the mysterious phone and it lines up with about everything I’ve heard so far: “It’s black and shiny, built with glossy plastic. Up close, though, it’s “got this curve to it.” While the screen, which our source thinks is the same 4-inch AMOLED affair from the Galaxy series, is flat, the front is “sort of concave” with hard edges. And the back is curved. The tapering makes it feel thinner than Galaxy S, though it might be about the same thickness. “It feels really similar to the Galaxy S in a lot ways.”あれ、11日に伸びたwしかもGalaxy Sに似ているらしい。情報も錯綜していて、本当かどうかかなり怪しい…し、やっぱりGingerbreadってAndroid 3.0の開発ネームじゃ…（しつこい）。
Now here is where things get interesting. We already posted that the phone will be announced on November 8th, but I’ve also heard from multiple sources that Gingerbread will “release” on November 11th.
If Gingerbread is in fact released on November 11th, then so could this magical phone.

現在噂として分かっているスペックをまとめると、
ふーん。本当にAndroid 2.3なの…？もしそうならGalaxy Sでも2.3は使えるのでしょうか？なんか怪しいですが、Googleなら有り得る…？僕の記憶が正しければ、Googleは「Nexes Oneの次期端末は作らない」って発表していたような気が…。Via Rumor: Nexus Two will feature 1.2 GHz CPU, headed to T-Mobile

余談ですが、Androidの開発ネームはスイーツ（笑）なんですよね。開発チームは甘いもの好きなんでしょうか。ギズ大胆予想！Android 2.3以降の進化の軌跡は…に「ハーゲンダッツ」っていう予想があって笑ってしまった…。この開発ネーム、～D→E→F→Gと、アルファベット順だったんですね。これは知らなかった…。
