Android Device News

Posted on 19:58 by Unknown
Android devices come out so often that I've given up trying to track them. Instead, what I'll be doing is providing a monthly "links" post that highlight the most important, interesting or unusual devices that have arrived that month.

Accessories and Watches

So far 4 companies (Samsung, Sony, Qualcomm and Casio) have announced smart watches before Apple.


Cameras

Tablets/Hybrids


Starting to see a lot of reasonable stuff from relatively unknown places:

This sort of thing was bound to be coming... a tablet specifically made for a specific kind of professional:

Music is another area I think one will see covered soon.

First big name tablet geared specifically to kids:

Phones


It's not every day I feature the AppleInsider article for a review of Android products, but they did a good job here:

I anxiously await full reviews of this phone's camera:
