Asus Prepping 13-Inch Android Netbook, Powered By Quad-Core Nvidia CPU?

Labels: , , , , , ,

According to DigiTimes, Asus could be prepping a 13-inch Android netbook - yep, not a Chromebook. Apparently, Nvidia will be powering this one with their own quad-core ARM CPU so it could actually house a Tegra 3 chipset. Other specs for this one are unknown right now but hopefully it packs a touchscreen display because you won't really want to navigate through the Android OS with a touchpad.

Sharp SH8188U To Be Announced Soon With "Gingerbread"

Labels: , , ,

Sharp looks like they're almost set to launch their latest Android handset, the SH8188U. It's pictured above and it's said to feature a WVGA LCD display, a 5MP camera with an LED flash, a front-facing camera, a 1GHz CPU, an HDMI output, and Android 2.3.4. These pictures make the phone look cheap so hopefully Sharp touches it up for the press photos. The handset could be capable of running in North America but it packs 900/2100MHz bands for Europe / Asia so we'll have to wait for another model.

They have unveiled the Huawei Sonic in Turkey and they have announced that it'll cost just €150 ($215 USD). The handset features a 3.5-inch touchscreen display, NFC, and Android 2.3 "Gingerbread" which is actually pretty decent. Of course, it's not as good as the high-end Android phones out there but it's great if you're on a tight budget.
