Back in March we heard about the SmartQ 5 PMP already; it ran Ubuntu and it was pretty cheap. Well, today we're hearing that the same PMP will be pre-loaded with Android and will be selling in Japan at the end of next month (September). In case you forgot, the SmartQ 5 PMP has: a 4.3-inch touchscreen display with an 800 x 480 resolution, a 667MHz Samsung CPU, 1GB of RAM, and WiFi / Bluetooth support. Unfortunately, this probably won't hit anywhere outside of Japan and this device is still lacking 3G support.
