Beyond gaming, I think one of the most underutilized opportunities for Android is in the automotive space, and I can understand why. With texting while driving being made illegal the world over, how many issues, problems and concerns does a full entertainment suite via Android include? Check out this nifty In-Car Infotainment center from Foryou/Adayo [...]

Rockchip didn’t hold back their love for Android at CES, showing off the Android Robot at their booth in record numbers and displaying perhaps the hugest collection of Android Devices at CES altogether. And Rockchip doesn’t even manufacture the devices. That’s right: Rockchip creates the chipset in Android devices for manufacturers like ARCHOS, but when [...]

We’ve seen Google TV come polished with Sony Internet TV and the Logitech Revue. While they haven’t caught on like we hoped and expected, I still view television as a growth market for Android and the Google TV platform in general. A company at CES called Cideko (warning: site has annoying music) definitely agrees- they [...]

A little digging by The Digital Reader has yielded a mysterious and polished looking Android eReader by Mirasol. Take a look at the promo video: It seems the company uploaded the video in preparation of CES but the link was shared a little more than they may have liked. Or, in my opinion, the more [...]

It looks like AT&T has snagged itself an interesting little eReader/Tablet combo with the 9-inch Pandigital Novel. The tablet is Android based, connects to both AT&T’s network (with contract) and Wi-Fi, and also has access to the Barnes & Nobles digital store. The cost will be $279.99 on contract. This isn’t the first effort by [...]

Bet you didn’t think the PSP Phone would be out so soon, did you? Well, we aren’t looking at it here, that’s for sure. This is the Unmei Q5 coming to us straight from Shenzhen, China, and for about $60 US you could score this 3.5-inch touchscreen, dual-SIM card touting PSP Go knockoff with Android. [...]

The Parent Company of PC World is launching a pair of Android Tablets called the Advent Vega and Advent Amico exclusively in the UK. The company – Dixon Retail – sees tablets as a hot holiday gift and obviously they want in on the affordable end, offering the Vega for £249.99 and the Amico for [...]

Sagem just dropped their new Puma phone, and while it is not an Android device it was hinted that the company may be looking towards Android for the second iteration. At a pre-launch event for the Puma Phone, the VP of Marketing for Sagem revealed they are considering a scaled down version running Android for [...]

Like it or not (the device that is), the Apple iPad will hundreds of thousands of units, in fact it already has and it isn’t even released yet! There is clearly a strong draw to the product, not only because of the Apple brand, but because of the tablet form factor that seems to have [...]

We haven’t yet told you about the Motorola Beam Smartbook which, in January, was said to be launching in the summer for AT&T. Why? Because at the time the Beam was running on Windows CE. LaptopMag caught up with the Beam a couple days ago and SURPRISE – it now has the pleasure of doing [...]

The team behind the Hott MD500 Android Tablet is already calling their new baby the “iPad Killer” – and THIS is probably the worst thing the company could do. The iPad hasn’t even been launched yet competitors are already giving it the stage as the device to beat. In my mind, silence is golden, but [...]

The Entourage eDGE wasn’t exactly treated like royalty upon release but the folks at Spring Design our hoping their Alex eReader is received a bit better. Having been given an “early March release” for quite awhile, we wouldn’t be surprised to see it launch tomorrow as SlashGear is suggesting will happen. Take a look as [...]

Gigabyte isn’t best known for their mobile phones, but they’re hoping Android will help change that. They’ve just announced the Gigabyte GSmart Codfish G1305 which runs on Android 1.6 and was caught in pictures by PointGPhone: After some hands on time with the device they said its build quality was good and its software was [...]

The guys at AndroidAndMe got a hot anonymous tip on a new entrant into not only the Android market (not the one for apps) but to 4G mobile phones as well. That entrant is Cox – the nation’s 3rd largest cable company. Here is what their tipster said: "Worked on a quick short-term sub-sub-sub contract [...]

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 [...]

One of Android’s initial goals was to lower the cost of manufacturing “smart” devices, a savings that could/would be passed onto consumers. The cheap labor in China certainly doesn’t hurt and HiVision showed off a 7-inch Android tablet at CeBIT 2010 that will cost only about $100. Check out the video snagged by JKKMobile: The [...]

It’s been a hot second since we’ve heard about the little-known manufacturer Saygus and their VPhone which was rumored to be Verizon Wireless bound. With specs that included Big Red’s CDMA requirements and 2-way video conferencing capabilities, the VPhone was an intriguing potential entry. Now that Verizon and Skype have announced an official partnership, it’s [...]

Add another manufacturer to the Android bandwagon: Lumigon. The company is starting their Android initiative with an incredibly creative set of offerings with a feature we haven’t seen before on Android handsets… slide-out T9 keyboards. Typically Android phones have offered either touchscreen only or touchscreen with full QWERTY offerings so this is definitely a step [...]

GeeksPhone One was announced this past summer and now, according to Android France, is finally available to those in Europe. Android France got their hands on one and posted some pics. Although a long time has passed since the initial announcement, no  upgrades have been made to make the GeeksPhone One more competitive, given the [...]

Inbrics has announced the launch of their Android based MID M1 at next week’s MWC in Barcelona.
