Huawei Smakit S7: 7-inch Android MID Phone!

Huawei, most popular for its 3G, 3.5G dongles is now offering a tablet that runs Android OS and has a nice 7-inch display.

The details are scanty, but we do know that it has a 7-inch display, WVGA resolution (800×480), 2x USB ports and camera. What amazes us is the fact that the image shows phone and call log apps which means that it can also be used as a phone.

BPhone – A netbook with a phone or a phone with a netbook? – You decide

BPhone – at first, sounds like some random phone, but in reality, it is a netbook with a phone and vice-versa.

This phone/netbook surely would look a bit weird when you will stick it up your head. Anyway, this geeky gadget comes with a 5-inch swivel display and a QWERTY keyboard. There is a trackball too to control the mouse movements. There is a headphone jack on the left of the device and SD card reader on the right. The key placement is a bit weird for thumb typing due to the awkward placement of the trackball

There is no information on the OS that it runs.

xpPhone, well, works!

PsiXpda UMPC – Another (expensive) MID-Phone

Meet the PsiXpda, a Windows XP running MID-Phone. Sharing a lot of similarity in terms of looks with the Digicube MID-Phone-50, the PsiXpda comes with an Atom Z510 processor (1.1GHz), built-in 3g and WiFi

It has a 4.8-inch display with WVGA resolution (800×480). It comes with 1GB of RAM which should run XP without any problems. It has two USB ports, out of which one is mini-USB.

There is a 1850mAh battery which should give you 2-4 hours of runtime. Weighing just 430gm, this should be very easy to carry around.

PsiXpda folks are promising non-XP installs too, including support for Android OS. We now know that Android OS runs pretty nicely, as Kamal loaded his EEE 701 with Android couple of days back and he gave it a thumbs up

Price: $830 (£500). High price, we know but how many similar devices do you see in the market?
