NEC shows new business tablet that appears to be running Android

NEC mobile PC running Android?

CrunchGear has posted a story on a new NEC tablet shaped touchscreen device that the company is supposedly preparing for business users in Japan. The device features a touchscreen display that is thought to be 7 to 8 inches in size.

CrunchGear has few specs at the moment, but they appear to miss an important point that can be gathered from the small image they’ve obtained.

If you look closely, it is pretty obvious that it is running some version of Android. The gray status line at the top is the first hint, but the tab at the bottom of the screen is what really screams Android to me. The app that is running on the display appears to be some sort of custom deal.

CrunchGear says that the device is expected to go on sale this fall.

Thanks to Ed for the tip.
