Google's Pixel is a challenge to other Android phone-makers, not Apple
In a move not unlike Microsoft's when it first introduced the Surface, Google is trying to show vendors how it's done.This week we got our first (official) look at Google's new Pixel smartphones, and predictably much of the discussion has been around how they stack up to or "challenge" Apple's iPhones, and whether they're really Google's "first ever" phones or just Nexus devices by another name.While the Pixel has some obvious physical similarities to the iPhone, and while there were some playful jokes at Apple's expense during Google's presentation (free online storage, headphone jack etc), it's not necessarily accurate to say the big G is "taking the fight" to Apple by attempting to make an iPhone of its own.
