Android turns up on MIDs from Eston, SFR


Two more MIDs were spotted running Android recently, and the kids over at Pocketables were kind enough to clue us in on the developments. First off, Estons MID-02 (also known as the M4301) is a dual Windows CE 6.0 / Android device that boasts a 4.3-inch touchscreen, a Marvell XScale PXA300 (624MHz) CPU, 128MB DDR-RAM, 256MB Flash (supports up to 16GB) and a screen resolution of either 480 x 272 or 800 x 480, depending on whose product page you believe. Apparently one of the companys main markets is Europe, so keep your eyes peeled if youre interested. And why not? The keyboard is "almost entirely in English." But that aint all! Theres also an interesting video making the rounds of the SFRs Intel-powered M! PC Pocket at least booting the open source OS -- not necessarily compelling evidence that the rumors are true, but if the French wireless carrier isnt developing an Android device of their own at this very moment, it isnt a stretch to believe that theyre toying with the idea. See for yourself after the break.
