Apparently, someone over at XDA has managed to overclock their Nexus One to 1.113 GHz. This comes not too long after the Motorola Droid was similarly overclocked at 1.1 GHz. While the margin of change, regarding processing power, was greater for the Droid, it wasn’t exactly running stable at 1.1 GHz. On XDA, they’re claiming that the overclocked Nexus One has been “perfectly stable.”

Here is why Cody Willard thinks Google’s gonna kill the Nexus One and their entire cell phone sales business sometime this year or next:
1. Retailing hardware isn’t what business Google is in.
2. They don’t wanna compete against their partners.
3. Google’s damaging its brand name.
4. The Nexus One is a stupid name anyway.
5. The cell phone business will hurt Google’s gross margins.
