Apple Co-Founder Woz Did Not Ditch iPhone for Google's Nexus One

Yesterday NBC Bay Area reported (and Android Central gloated!) that Apple co-founder, Steve Wozniak, had replaced his iPhone for the big bark and less bite Google/HTC Nexus One. TiPb never believed Woz would ever relinquish his beloved iPhone and, sure enough, NBC Bay Area has now updated their story:

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

He sounds like our very own Dieter Bohn just without the BlackBerry. So there you have it folks, Woz has not betrayed us.

Developer Leaks Imminent iPhone 4.0? Not.
  1. Joe McG says:

    Haha! This just shows the iPhone is too crippled in certain respects. I would have a Nexus One and a Droid as well if I was a baller...

  2. Steve Woz spokesperson says:

    I don't think anyone said he 'ditched' the iPhone. Did they? What happened is Steve said that the Nexus One was his favorite gadget. Over the iPhone, MacBook, and any other gadget. That still holds true. He is using the iPhone because GE is locked into AT&T ccontract LOL. No but he did say he likes the Nexus One the most so he is still a traitor. But the dude can dance.

  3. i2Fuzzy says:

    Kind of ironic, given that AT&T's commercials say that you need 2 phones if you're on Verizon's network.

  4. Brian says:

    Yea, but he has four phones so that's called I got money and a I'm a gadget nerd like most of the people that read this forum want to be.

  5. DrModem says:

    Holy crap that's a lot of phones.

  6. Claris Li says:

    Well, comparing with Palm CEO, looks like he's very open-minded! Personally I don't mind getting another Android phone beside my iPhone too.

  7. apple king says:

    dieter main phone is a pre

  8. ArtSpot says:

    Woz throws money & sees what sticks.

    For us humans, we only buy one phone, so... gotta buy the iPhone.

  9. Drake says:

    So many electromagnetic waves in once place.

  10. devildrifterx says:

    Lets be honest with ourselves if we had the kind of money Woz has we'd have more than one phone, i know id definitely would like a Pre Plus to go with my Bold

  11. neil brimelow says:

    The Woz can use whatever damn phone he wants. The dood practically invented the personal computer.

  12. Public Farley says:

    Woz may love gadgets, but he is not stupid. Of course his main phone is an iPhone. Anyone that's used both knows that iPhone is still king of the hill (in most respects).

    Besides dude co-founded the company that produces the iPhone. Saying that anything else is his main phone would incur a visit from Jobs's hinchmen to set him straight!

  13. Dave the Swabian says:

    The man made his bones in the 70's coming up with ways to not pay the phone company. He's the consumate tinkerer. He has an android because it's open and he can fiddle with it. He also has an iPhone because he likes it and it would look bad if he didn't have one. Also I'm sure that it was jailbroken on day 1.
