Being a Google's phone, Nexus S will always receive special attention and updates from google
Secondly, Nexus S is direct copy of Galaxy S... We can easily port everything that Nexus S receives to Galaxy S...
No, you can't. There are still quite a lot of differences between the two. It's not a direct copy at all, not like N1 --> Desire & G2 --> Desire Z.

who needs special attention when you have 2 cores inside , developers will fascinate LG star more then Nexus S and thats all matter , I am sure there will a cyanogen mod for star ,the only thing it has to worry about is Motorola Olympus , the phone i can live my rest of life with !!
You're really naive to think developers will "fascinate" the LG Star over a Nexus S. FYI, I'm pretty sure Nexus S will have more developer support than the LG Star. Or Optimus 2X as it is called now. Lots of developers are loyal to HTC, and Google as well. And if you really go for the dual core phones, don't be sad if Nexus S owners smile at you when they get Honeycomb and you have to wait 2-3 months for it.

btw I am big Google fan but Nexus S is an big disappointment , Nexus One set is own rule by offering 1 GHZ proc with 512 MB ram and a 800 * 420 resolution almost year after we have Nexus S which is just the same !! wtf wrong with google. Humingbird , curved screen or NFC are just the ring and bells !! dual core with super amoled 2 cd hav made the diff !!
Dual core chips are not ready for the market as of yet. I'm pretty sure Google knows MUCH better than you what to do with their Nexus lineup. The logical reasons IMO, why they released the Nexus S:
1) Nexus One's multitouch capabilities are really poor. Max 2 fingers, any more and it starts having problems.
Some of the features in the new vector maps in Maps 5.0 requires multitouch, which the N1 cannot properly showcase. This is just one example. Google has added 5 finger multitouch API, which again Nexus One wouldn't have been able to demonstrate. Especially for gaming.
2) N1's GPU is abysmal. That is a very well known fact.
If you look at the 2.3 improvements for the developers, there are a huge number of API's especially for gaming. How will the Nexus One showcase all these improvements with such a weak GPU? Also, developers normally use dev phones such as N1 for testing. Again, which would have not been enough for gaming development.
3) They want to push NFC capabilities. Obviously for you'll it doesn't matter, but for Google and US it does.
Self explanatory.
4)Other hardware additions such as Gyroscope etc.
Again, to showcase the new API's in 2.3, which adds support for gyroscope, barometer, etc.
Nexus S has great multitouch capabilities of 5 fingers. It also has one of the best GPU's currently in the market, better than the one that is in the iPhone 4(PowerVR SGX540 vs PowerVR SGX535). And you can see for yourself the awesome games coming out for the iPhone 4.
Google decided that the SGS hardware was the best hardware currently to adopt. And so they took the Hummingbird chipset, made changes of their own, (Gyroscope, NFC, different WiFi & GPS chip, different Bluetooth chip, Curved Screen) and released it, a new phone for the developers to use and test their apps on. And it still is a great phone, will be a great phone till a new Nexus phone comes out.
If you as a consumer were expecting awesomesauce new hardware such as a dual core and 1080p recording and what not, well, Nexus S isn't for you. Pick up the Motorola Olympus or LG Star. But do note that, while you have awesome hardware to brag and use, they're limited in the end by software, which is as equally important as hardware. And software is where the Nexus S will remain ahead of the pack, for eg. when Honeycomb releases or any minor update for 2.3 releases.
