A couple of months back, there had been reports that Google plans to launch 15-20 Android devices by the end of this year. Also, there were reports that 50% of HTC phones releasing next year, would come loaded with Android. Both these news seem to be fruitifying now. Almost every day, news of some or the other Android device in the making crops up. Now, according to AndroidGuys, AT&T is working on an Android-powered device, the HTC Fiesta.

The speculated specs of the device are :

• ARM11 Processor
• Phone Keypad
• 240×320 Display
• MIDI, AAC, MP3, 3GP, OGG.

Having a look at the specs, it makes me suppose that this would be a low-end device, targeting the masses. Will it have touch screen ? And, will it have features like inbuilt GPS ? Possible! Moreover, we have no news about the pricing or the release date of the device.

So, are you already eyeing this device ? Just stay glued to GAndroidmix and we will keep you abreast with any further details regarding the phone.

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 Android-powered 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.

This speculation seems to be quite tricky. But, it is possible. And, if this speculation fruitifies, then the equation would be :

A huge brand + great features + amazing OS + lightning speed = a mind blowing device called Sony Ericsson Xperia X3

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?

If this news is to be believed, then Android devices will blow away the PSPs and Nintendos in the market. Also, the OS would be one of the fastest running OS in the mobile phone arena.

The OS version pipeline of Android seems to be really massive, with great developments with every update. The version with support for such advanced features, would definitely give cut-throat competition to any other OS in the market, however old and established it be.

So all you Android fanatics, get ready for some speed!

Motorola Sholes has headed the Android way. According to reports, it is an Android-powered device, which will be available in the US in October this year.

• microSD/microSDHC support up to 16GB (8GB ships with phone!)
• 5-megapixel camera with autofocus
• GPS
• USB, Bluetooth 2.0 and WiFi

Possibly, the device will support both CDMA and EVDO Rev A. And, here’s a live shot of the phone :
