Hasta La Gadget!

To date, we haven’t exactly been huge fans of the Peek–or its follow-up, the TwitterPeek. That said, Peek founder Amol Sarva is an honest, sharp-eyed tech enthusiast, and one whose opinion we trust.

Today, Sarva posted hands-on impressions of the elusive Nexus One, the so-called Google Phone. He called it “every bit as good a piece of hardware as the Droid or the iPhone,” and said it has a “really great, big touchscreen” and is also thinner than the iPhone.

“Here’s a prediction come true: through relentless iteration, the iPhone-wannabes have now closed the hardware gap entirely. They have cloned it… Apps present the last remaining delta, and I am certain that the open marketplace + the many OEM/many SKU Android strategy will eventually draw every bit as lively a dev community as Apple now holds. Partly because Android like App Store also clones Docomo i-Mode’s monetization and discoverability breakthroughs. Well done, clone droid army.”

Sarva now predicts that Apple must deliver another game-changing new iPhone by 2010, and not just a refresh, if it wants to stay ahead. In short, Sarva declares: “The Droid Clone Wars are over.”
