Innocomm Shark, Shadow, Scorpion & Gemini: High End, Low Priced Androids
| by Rob Jackson on March 3rd, 2010 at 10:46 am |
At Mobile World Congress 2009, a small company named Innocomm showed off an Android phone they called the Innocomm Skate (pictured) – it still isn’t released. That phone faced delays due to a change in chipsets but that hasn’t slowed down the company’s Android aspirations. In an interview with PC World the company’s Sales Manager made mention of at least 4 more handsets on the way: the Innocomm Shark, Innocomm Shadow, Innocomm Scorpion and Innocomm Gemini.
The most imminent of the 4 seems to be the Shark which had a pretty darn good list of specs and is, according to Sales Manager Chuck Huang, slated for May or June:
- 3.2-inch touchscreen
- 800 x 400 pixel resolution
- 8MP camera with flash
- 3.5mm headset jack
- MicroSD slot up to 32GB
- GPS, 3G, HSPA, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth
- 115 x 58 x 12.5 mm
- Analog TV Receiver
- Digital TV Receiver in future model
The Shadow is expected to be a 4.3-inch phone but besides the Shark, most of Innocomm’s devices are prototypes and plans. It’s great to know that their plans are based on Android:
“Windows is nice,” said Huang, but it can’t beat the price on Android.
“It’s free and the Google brand is already well known,” he said, “Android is the only OS we’re working on.”
Can’t argue with that, and best of all, Innocomm plans to pass that savings onto the consumer:
“What we do is sell a high-end smartphone at a low-end price,” he said, adding that network operators will likely offer it for free with reasonable service contracts.
Stay tuned for more on the Shark, Shadow, Scorpion, Skate and Semini. Oops, I meant Gemini – they like their esses.
