Camangi WebStation website goes live, orders do not

Posted in: Android, android tablet, AndroidTablet, MID, tablet, Today's Chili

It still won’t sell you one, but Carmangi has just launched the official website for its Android-based WebStation tablet / MID, and cleared up a few remaining details in the process. As we’d heard, this one packs a 7-inch glass touchscreen and some of the usual niceties like WiFi and GPS, but it looks like the rest of the specs are decidedly par for the course, including a 624MHz Marvell PXA303 processor, 128MB of RAM, 256MB of flash storage, and 3G connectivity in the form of a USB dongle only. You will get a complimentary 8GB microSD card to boost that storage, however, and you’ll soon apparently be able to get it in your choice of pink or black in addition to the basic white — the company even has its own “Camangi Market” for apps, though it’s looking a little sparse, and not all that unique at the moment.

NEC working on an Android tablet for suits?

Posted in: Android, android tablet, AndroidTablet, rumor, rumors, tablet, Today's Chili

Super-vague report in the Nikkei this morning about NEC working on a seven-to-eight-inch “mobile device as capable as a personal computer” that’s aimed at business customers — no specs are given, but the tiny accompanying pic definitely shows the Android app tab at the bottom of that custom UI. Very mysterious. The report says NEC thinks it’ll move 100,000 to 200,000 of these a year after it launches next fall, and plans to sell a million a year over time, but we’ll wait to see what’s real and what’s not before we tackle that prediction.

5-inch Android-powered Archos Internet Media Tablet landing in September

Posted in: Android, android tablet, AndroidTablet, archos, Google, MID, rumor, tablet, tablet pc, TabletPc, Today's Chili

Just under a month ago at Archos’ Paris reveal, we were somewhat dismayed that an Android-based device didn’t show up… officially, at least. We were told to expect more information about a Google-powered unit this September, but it looks as if said wait has been hacked considerably. According to The Inquirer, Archos has informed it that a 5-inch internet media tablet loaded with Android will be unveiled on September 15th, a date that certainly jibes with prior information. The handheld will boast Google’s sauce underneath with a layer of Archos applications on top, and while the Windows 7-equipped Archos 9 PCTablet (pictured) is expected in October, this here device should hit shelves a few weeks prior. In related news, the briefing also included word that Archos was working on a few “telephony products,” which is just barely enough to get you simultaneously excited / hot and bothered.

GiiNii’s Movit Mini WiFi Android tablet hands-on

Posted in: Android, android tablet, AndroidTablet, breaking news, BreakingNews, tablet, Today's Chili

We just spent some quality time playing with GiiNii’s Movit Mini WiFi Android tablet, which might be one of the best things we’ve seen at CES so far — think of it as the Android version of the iPod touch and you’ll get why we’re so stoked. The unit features a 4.3-inch, 480 x 272 resistive touchscreen (sigh), and it’s got a soft keyboard for text entry — they couldn’t tell us if it’s running Cupcake or not, but the keyboard worked just fine as we were playing with it. A built-in mic and front-facing camera lend themselves to out-of-the-box Skype support, there’s also Bluetooth and a built-in speaker. Sadly, there’s only 256MB of internal storage, but there’s an microSD slot for expansion. All we got for pricing was “less than the iPod touch” — we’ll see how close GiiNii gets when this guy and the planned 7-inch Movit Maxx hit sometime in the middle of the year.
