Binatone, which produces a couple of very cheap Android tablets already thanks to its HomeSurf range, has released another device it calls the Binatone ReadMe Mobile. The company wants us to think of it as a hybrid of tablet and e-reader, with Android 2.1 onboard to manage everything.
Oddly enough, the ReadMe Mobile is not a touch screen device – navigation is handled via the device’s control pad. And with a 7″ 800×400 traditional display, reading’s not going to be as pleasant as on a custom e-reader…
…but it’s only going to cost £129 so should find itself a few fans at that price. Very odd, like how an Android tablet would’ve looked had they existed in 1989. We don’t get sent press releases from Binatone, so this news comes via Pocket-Lint.
Motorola’s latest flagship dual-core Android monster is a massive, original powerhouse, that’s a big improvement on previous MOTOBLUR mobiles – but still isn’t a total winner.
A slim and glamorous phone from Sony Ericsson, with the sharpest display around. It’s no powerhouse and the screen’s not the biggest out there, but we don’t mind. Because it’s cute.
LG’s first glasses-free 3D phone is a heavy, fat monster, with a clever 3D effect that works rather well. As a smartphone, though, it’s heavy and underwhelming.
A very shiny thing from Sony Ericsson, with a 3.7″ screen and Android 2.3.3 inside. But is it exciting enough to win fans in today’s spec-obsessed market? Can man live on one core alone?
INQ’s Android phone is an interesting “boutique” piece of hardware, packed with unique interface customisations that go far beyond the headline Facebook integration. We like it a lot.
