In between all the exciting rumors of when Google's Nexus One will be released and how much it will cost, there's at least something that's confirmed: Google submitted a trademark application for "Nexus One."

Android.in writes that the application was filed on December 10th, a bit before all the excitement about Nexus One began, which they speculate could mean that there'll be little involvement by carriers, but who knows at this point? I'm just going to keep staring at mysterious countdowns. [AndroidOS.in]
