The ZTE Tureis is a low-end Android phone that comes with a full QWERTY keyboard style Blackberry, and going out to compete with the king of Android phones with this type of keyboard, the HTC ChaCha.

Specifications ZTE Tureis are the hope of a low-end Android phone, but the build quality is not bad, and that is the ZTE brand is proving you can do some terminals with more than acceptable quality at an affordable price.

ZTE Blade is one of those terminals that have not seen direct marketing in our country but it’s always nice to see how the world of consumer electronics to merge with that of other companies to create business partnerships with limited editions of smartphones and devices more or less than high end.

ZTE Blade available in three colors (Black & Golden, Golden and White) there is no communication on the price and the market on which will be launched but considering that it is a medium-low-end smartphones (Android 2.2, 3.5 inch WVGA AMOLED display, cpu Qualcomm MSM7227 600MHz processor, 512MB RAM, a 3.2 mpxl camera, Wi-Fi, GPS), the ZTE Blade cost will probably be content in spite of the limited edition.

DECT phone with Android home called Archos 35

DECT phone with_Android home called_Archos 35

Archos 35 – Just like in the future, windows and mirrors in our house will be intelligent, “mobile home”, as most know them also have their doses based applications on Android. An example of this is a company that is offering is slowly growing now with the bet for the home team as the Archos 35 Smart Home Phone, cordless phone with an air of smartphone.

The Archos 35 is a DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications or Digitally Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications) based on Android, unlike cordless phones at home we will be able to run applications into a sort of hybrid. According to the specifications, it would be a device with 3.5-inch screen, run Android 2.2 Froyo and have support for applications such as Angry Birds (if you can run this type of game, there is hope of many similar). In addition, of course would be compatible with conventional telephone lines.

Apparently it is focused on being the smart home phone we always wanted, the screen has a resolution of 272×480 barely, but enough to handle the controls for playing music, a virtual keyboard, and applications like email. Another interesting point is that being based on Android; you can transfer contacts from another terminal via microUSB. The internal storage capacity is 8 GB, but also has a microSD card slot

I think it’s an interesting initiative, a long time are looking for home phones that do more than turn on the answering machine and Android seems like the perfect solution. Also, having an Android device with functionality for calls without holding on to a contract, for example, it is an advantage. But it is more tempting it would be the ability to run Android applications, though, in version 2.2 or lower, did not mention whether it could be upgraded.

His name is trade Archos Smart Home Phone and going to buy (when available) will tell us to be able to play video in MPEG4 and other types, and show JPG and BMP files, and MP3, WAV, FLAC and OGG. It also has a VGA camera so you can use programs like Skype for video conferencing.

Not yet available for sale, but it is expected that once available Archos 35 price is $ 159 approximately.

With Ice Cream Sandwich-alpha_Notion Ink_arrives in the first week in January

Notion Ink, the company from India that was once the largest (presumed) Vaporware campaign managed to put on a Tablet Android, gets a lot about him in the community. Updates are not good, unstable devices. There seems Notion Ink is not too much to care. This they demonstrate by the first week of January update to Ice Cream Sandwich to give. Possibly she became the first manufacturer who will succeed. It must be said that this is an alpha version, but the open nature of Android, we can only welcome this.

Notion Ink

Notion Ink last year after a huge run up the Notion Ink Adam launched. The device turned on Android 2.2 with its own shell called Eden. Everything in the Notion Ink Adam comes to Genesis (for those who do not know the first Bible story). The device is called Adam, the skin is called Eden, the web store which would be called Genesis. At this moment in the community talked about Eve that the second unit could possibly be.

Currently, there are people who have bought the tablet and counted on a fully working one as used in ASUS, Acer and Samsung comes. Think again: the Notion Ink tablet purchase devices that are standard hobby and turning through the establishment already in a recovery menu can come to unofficial firmware to run. The device does not need to be retted. Root access is done by one of the many ROM to flash by the community behind the tablet is made available. So it went with Gingerbread, so it went with Honeycomb and it looks like that after the alpha version of the beginning of December so will go with Ice Cream Sandwich.

The community provides a ROM with root access to the team behind Notion Ink, which tests the ROM, and returns while maintaining warranty. A rotted tablet with a custom ROM without the risk of losing your warranty is. The openness of Android at its best.

Mail Notion Ink

Notion Ink brings it all as a “Christmas present”. After many blogs the last few weeks of Notion Ink Rohan Shravan boss came this afternoon in an offer for Adam fans and owners: the latest update is now available on all tablets.

Rohan put a blog post last week where a camera was visible. When Nvidia was not much sense to have source code for its drivers to release this chip in Honeycomb was not activated. It seems, however, that Notion Ink does it now have to work again. It remains an alpha version on a tablet in a small factory in China, put together by hand, but it’s also a little of the charm of the brand. A tablet Notion Ink, with a kind of ink-like display on an e-reader, which works everywhere but where you’ll have a lot of tweaking.
