Apple Co-Founder Ditched iPhone For Google’s Nexus One

Steve Wozniak may have once cut in line to get an iPhone. But now he’s moved on to a hotter gadget.

The cofounder of Apple, the company that made him millions, told NBC Bay Area a dirty little secret. He’s ditched the iPhone for Google’s Nexus One.

According to NBC Bay Area News, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak was on the set of an education program called “NBC Class Action” when he was asked an entirely innocent question: what is your favorite gadget ?

Wozniak reportedly replied: “Well, it’s the latest one. It’s a non-Apple product, but it’s a gadget that just came out yesterday.”

Well, not ditched, exactly — but he did say it was his favorite gadget.

You will be stunned to hear that this remark was made the day after Google launched its Nexus One phone.

I know that some of you will be disturbed at the idea that such a legend in the Apple firmament could bring so much as a pore of his being into contact with a Nexus One.

He knows that Apple and Google are at war right now, doesn’t he ?

Then again, maybe Wozniak’s admission isn’t so shocking. In recent years, he hasn’t been afraid to criticize the company he founded. He blasted the first-generation iPhone for not supporting 3G out of the gate, and he’s criticized the phone for not being more open to developers. He even hacked his own phone.

But perhaps it is worth simply admiring yet again his touching, carefree honesty. Not for too long, however. Because NBC Bay Area then secured a further conversation with Woz, reportedly at his request. Woz wanted to clarify some of his deepest cellular feelings.

“I have two iPhones, sometimes I wear a Droid on my belt, and also a Nexus One,” Wozniak told the station. “At any given point, I might have BlackBerrys. My main phone is still an iPhone.”

Wait a minute. Did he say “Droid”? Did he say “BlackBerry”? That’s like discovering the New York Jets are still in the playoffs. What? They are?

Still, the image of Woz caressing Google’s new superphone must disturb the dreams of Apple fanboys and fangirls everywhere.
