Anyone who loves their car knows what the company Viper does. The company makes a product that allows users to start their car, open the trunk, and lock and unlock your car without being there. Imagine being in the office at 5pm when it is 30 degrees outside and all you want is your car to be warmed up. Viper lets its users start their car remotely so it will be warmed up when they leave the office. Viper already has a iPhone app that lets users do it from their iPhone, but they are finally showing BlackBerry users some love. Starting today, BlackBerry users will be able to go to www.viper.com/BlackBerry and download the app that will allow them to start their car, open their trunk and easily lock and unlock their car from virtually anywhere. This app requires the necessary hardware installed in your car which is sold at thousands of authorized retailers nationwide including Best Buy stores. Check out the video demo after the jump.

The Google Nexus One phone is no secret to bloggers. Unlike Apple, Google did not seem to be very strict with its employees leaking information and pictures of the phone. However, today Google made the phone official with a press conference at its headquarters in California. The Nexus One will be running Android 2.1 as its operating system meaning it will have the latest version of Android. The phone is manufactured by HTC, however it is going to be sold through Google. The Nexus One has a 5 megapixel camera, a trackball, and a 3.7-inch AMOLED touchscreen. The phone has GPS, Wi-Fi, a compass, and accelerometer.

The phone is available to customers today for $549 unlocked to T-Mobile’s bands (meaning no AT&T 3G). It is also available on T-Mobile with a two-year contract for $179. Google didn’t forget about the Verizon customers though, the Nexus ONe will be available on Verizon this Spring. It will also be available on Vodaphone in the future.
