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.

Dell to shake hands with Google : planning an Android powered internet device for the year-end

Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,


Some time back, we had reported that Dell is planning to launch an Android powered mobile phone soon. So, this news might not be new to you. But, the surprise element is that this device will be a MID (Mobile Internet Device) and not a mobile phone.

Supposedly, this will be a internet device, much like Apple’s iPod Touch, which does not include a phone module. The name of the device is not known yet. But it is expected to release in the second half of 2009.

Is Dell launching this device as a competition to Apple’s iPod Touch ? Will it have the same features as the iPod Touch ? The answers to these questions are unknown yet. We are even unsure about the price of the device. But, the device seems to be quite promising, as Dell has already produced many internet devices in the past, without a phone module. And, most of them have been quite popular in the market.
