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.

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.

Seems like, by the end of this year, atleast half a dozen companies will have their Android devices flocking the market. AT&T is probably, planning to launch an Android device, the Motorola Heron aka the Iron Man.

The device is expected to come with a 2.8-inch screen, a 3MP camera with flash, aGPS and 3G. The release date is speculated to be 2nd of November, this year. But, this may change as this date was announced when this phone was supposed to be a Windows Mobile device. But, since the Operating System has been revised, some features as well as the release date might also change.

Sony Ericsson die hard fans now have a chance to rejoice. The mobile phone giant is planning to launch an Android powered phone. It has plans to launch the device powered with Android 2.0 aka the Donut.

A few days back we had published a news about the next version of Android, Donut. But, nothing has yet been said or heard about its release date. So, nothing can be said about the release date of the phone.

But why is Sony Ericsson waiting for the next version of Android to be released ? May be because the Donut is expected to provide much better multimedia experience. And, Sony Ericsson always had the reputation of providing one of the best multimedia phones in the market, in the form of its Walkman range.

“It does require a lot of evaluation, as well as a lot of testing, a lot of acceptance from a consumer viewpoint, and there is still some time to go,” CEO Hideki Komiyama said about the Linux-based OS. “Looking ahead, I think that we see this as one of the important operating systems, there is no doubt.”

Android does offer multimedia experience in the form of youtube, etc. But its no where even near what Sony Ericsson provides in its Walkman range phone. And, the biggest complaint I personally had with Android, is its speaker volume and quality.

So, lets hope that a device with the great sound quality of Sony Ericsson devices, combined with the funcionalities of an open-source Operating System, is in the making.
