First satellite powered by a smart phone is set to launch into space : TreeHugger

First satellite powered by a smart phone is set to launch into space : TreeHugger.

Eventually, I will have a few comments on Republican vote-rigging, gun control, the State of the Union address and responses, etc., but for now please enjoy this awesome story of a microsat powered by (eventually) a Google Nexus One Android smartphone.

The microsat will start out on orbit using more traditional components, and slowly switch over to the Nexus as a test of smartphone components in the space environment.

Top that, Apple.
