iriver is working on iriver K2, a Portable Media Player, which would probably sport a 3.5-inch touchscreen, WiFi, Bluetooth, an accelerometer and integrated digital TV tuner, and is believed to be a close competitor to Apple’s iPod Touch. It may also sport a web browser, and Android market (like App Store in iPod Touch) for third party softwares.
But, only time will tell, if it will really materialize. The reason being, this beautiful dish is far from any kind of approval as of now.
Vobis Computer is reportedly planning to launch Android powered, HIGHSCREEN PP5420 in Russia starting next week. According to reports, it will retail at about approximately $510.
The device sports a 3″ WQVGA screen, Qualcomm MSM7201 processor, a 3MP camera with auto focus, a front-facing camera for video calling, Bluetooth 2.0 with EDR, WiFi, GPS and UMTS/HSDPA.
Google Android is getting really popular with cell-phone manufacturers around the world. The main reason is the availability of the open-source OS for free. Also, the current Android devices available in the market, like the HTC Dream, Magic and Hero have been quite popular with the masses. The PP4520 has got quite impressive features, for a mid-range mobile phone. So, let us hope this device too gets the same popularity as the other Android devices.

And, an extra battery and a desktop charger is also said to be included in the box.
There is no confirmed news about its price but it is expected to sell for about US$550 to $750.

Here’s a video showing the DSTL1, running Android.
Ginii is all set to launch the very first Andriod powered Portable Media Player, named Movit Mini, some time in October this year.
