AT CES 2008, Chinese company Winstron showed off their GW4, one of the world’s first Google Android handsets. According to early reports, the phone is running a basic version of Linux right now, but should be running Google’s open and free mobile platform by March 2008.
The Linux-based Android operating system was announced this past November and the GW4 phone has a number of impressive features own its own, including Wifi, a 2.5″ touchscreen, a 2MP camera, and full QWERTY keyboard. It also can play MP3 files, browse the web, set-up a calendar, check e-mail and weather, and more. According to PCMag:
Other built-in apps include a mail program with Outlook syncing, MSN/Yahoo/AIM IM clients and MS Office and PDF readers, though those will presumably be replaced by whatever apps Google ends up preferring in their Android suite.
The phone will be coming out in Q2 of this year, though pricing information is yet to be released.
