Wow. I feel like I just won a major journalism award. Every time I get to stop at Walmart I’m giddy like a schoolgirl with my camera in hand. If this doesn’t excite you, well, you must have a life.

There has been a lot of discussion about the AMOLED screen in the Nexus One and how great it is inside, but how it sucks outside in sunlight. I happen to own both an iPhone 3Gs and a Nexus One, so I decided to do some comparison shots.
The pictures below are all taken with both screens set to full brightness.
These outdoor pics are taken in full sun at around 6pm.
For these next shots, I took a screenshot from my N1′s homescreen, and copied it to the iPhone so I could display it using the iPhone photo gallery.
The Nexus One’s AMOLED screen really excels inside as you can see in the comparison shots below (N1 on the right):
This closeup really allows you to see the pixels on the iPhone screen vs the smooth, high-res screen on the N1:
Feel free to draw your own conclusions. I don’t see a definitive disadvantage with the Nexus One screen outdoors, and I’ve been using it full-time for the last month. On the other hand, the iPhone 3Gs screen is very washed out and lifeless at high brightness levels. Yuck.
I decided to give my new Nexus One car dock a workout by installing it in my 99 Firehawk and shooting some video on a backroad known as “Hotrod Haven”. Enjoy.
This is another in my series of Nexus One videos. Hopefully I can do some hands on videos with the phone itself soon!
Today I received the Nexus One desktop dock. I unbox it and show you a few of the cool features it adds to the Nexus One.
