A few sources (this one from the BBC) reporting that there are some teething troubles with the ordering for Nexus One.

Surprising, because my understanding was that the landmark news from the other day was that Google is a Consumer Electronics Retailer. Hmm…

I have absolute faith in their ability to launch and support an OS though. Really I do. I’m sure it won’t end up anything like this.

OK – petty argument here. But actually the larger point is this is why I moan about hyperbole when it comes to some announcements. Gearing up to do something really big takes a bit of time. Or it takes a lot of good will. Or you can take it step by step. Probably what you can’t do is make an announcement and then own the market by the end of the afternoon.
