James … the video says android 1.6

I think it doesn’t look too bad for under $100. It seemed to operate pretty smoothly in the video. I wonder if since it has 3G, if that means the android marketplace would be available. Finding one to buy is the hard part.

Yeah I don’t get why people are complaing about the RAM. Most devices at this price only have 128. Even the iPad has 256.

Would anyone know if the True GPS? Wikipedia reports it as having GPS modules. Which I assume means it has both … True and Assisted.

Why do you guys need RAM? Does it take more than 256 MB to load a pdf for reading? Or a music song? Or a website?

I’m sure they could beef it up a bit, but could they still do it for under $100? If not, and the price were to go to $200 or more, would it still be newsworthy?

Is there really any reason not put wireless N in these devices nowadays? b/g just does not cut it anymore. What about internal storage? It says 2g, is that 2 gigabytes? Also, what version is it running? It looks like 1.5 with the original google search bar and not the quicksearch one. I’m at work and can’t view the video, so if it says it in the video can someone comment it back.

Smartphones and MIDs internals are System on Chip. The ram and internal memory are built into the SOC setup, so unless you know how to solder very very well, you’ll not be upgrading the ram in these type of devices. It’s a cost we take for the portability of them.

Yes more RAM. I wish they would make little devices like this more upgradable. If we feel we need more of a certain part, internal mem, RAM etc., we can do it ourselves.
