Another company that is going the Android way is Eston. The company is planning to launch an Android powered MID very soon. This device will be named MID-02 slider, and will be available with French carrier SFR.
The device runs on Intel Atom Z500 at 800 MHz, 512 MB RAM, 4GB of SSD storage, a 4.3″ touchscreen and a slide out QWERTY keyboard. There are no details available regarding the release date or the pricing of the device.
Android provides one of the best browsing experiences to its users. So, when Android is coupled with an MID, it would not be wrong if we expect it to be one of the best MIDs in the market.

Some time back, we had reported that Sony Ericsson is working on Xperia X3, an Android powered device, which will sport a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor that runs at a mind-boggling clock speed of 1GHz. Now, Andy Rubin of Google Inc. has reported in an interview that Google plans to take advantage of processors like the Snapdragon processor from Qualcomm Inc. to support features like 3D gaming in the later versions of Android.
The Android versions which are currently in the news circuit is Donut (Android 1.6) , Eclair (Android 2.0) and Flan (the third version). We have already heard a lot about Donut and it does not seem to include any such features. So probably, this will be available with Eclair or Flan.
But currently, the only device which claims to sport a Snapdragon Chipset is the Sony Ericsson Xperia X3. So, this lets me wonder, will it come with Android Eclair or Flan? Possible.

Surprised? Don’t be. Because, Andy Rubin, vice president of engineering at Google told in an interview that Google has already started working on the fourth version of Android.
There are no details about the version, but it is for sure that future versions of the Android OS will have special focus on enterprise customers. In a recent news post, we had reported that Google is planning to include functionalities like that of Blackberry, which targets the businesses, in its later version. In addition to enterprise features, Google also plans to bring 3D gaming to its mobile phones by making use of powerful mobile CPUs like the one from Qualcomm, the Snapdragon that runs at 1GHz clock speed.
Right now, Blackberries are still considered as the best and most productive (mobile) business tool.
“Today, we don’t support many enterprise applications but in the future, I think enterprise will be a good focus for us,” Rubin, vice president of engineering at Google
Google although already offers an array of its services like Google Mail, Google Calenders and Google Docs on its Android phones, but they are not enough for making its name in enterpirses.

Recently in an interview, vice president of engineering at Google, Andy Rubin reported that devices that ship-in with the later versions of Android will support advanced features like 3D gaming, as they will sport the most advanced processors in the market.
And, he mentioned the name of Snapdragon chip from Qualcomm Inc and said that this would provide Android devices of the future the same speed as that of desktop computers of four years ago.
When we talk of “later versions of Android”, the only versions we know, as of now, are Android Eclair and Flan. Does that mean devices with these (or one of these) versions will come loaded with the mighty Snapdragon Chipset?
