Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak can be called many things, but reticent is not one of them. Case in point: Woz is going around telling members of the press that he's just smitten with Google's new Nexus One smartphone. Recently asked on the set of NBC's "Class Action," a Bay Area education show, what his favorite gadget is, Wozniak said: "Well, it's the latest one ... It's a non-Apple product, but it's a gadget that just came out yesterday" -- the day after Nexus One debuted.

Not that Wozniak has been afraid to carp about the company he founded in recent years. He blasted the first-generation iPhone for not supporting 3G out of the gate, and he's criticized the phone for not being more open to developers.
