Video and summary of the GNB netbook/UMPC

Computex is now coming to an end, but Run SSD have released a video revealing a GNB netbook/UMPC that is really something a bit different. The device is tagged as the ‘750’ and sports a 7-inch touch screen running Google’s Android.

Taiwanese electronics manufacturer BenQ announced earlier today that it plans to put out an Android powered smartphone and possibly an Android powered netbook next year.  The announcement was reported by IDG News’ Dan Nysted: The company hopes to market an Android-based smartphone next year, a BenQ representative said, as it attempts to rebuild its name in mobile phones.

ECS netbook will offer Android

ECS netbook will offer Android

Computex looks like a really good show, and ECS have on display a prototype of their 8.1 inch T800 netbook offering. The prototype device is not in working order, but the build is comparable to what the finished version will be like. It looks wonderful and would appear to resemble the Sony Vaio P a bit. Even though the T800 is a puny 800g (1.76lb) light, it still manages to pack a 2.5 inch SATA hard drive and 512MB of RAM. Our best guess is that the hard-drive may be swapped for an SSD as well. On top of this, the Texas …

Rumour mill: Android netbooks from MSI at Computex?

Rumour mill: Android netbooks from MSI at Computex?

Another one attributed to the DigiTimes’ rumour mill. Once again, citing one of its favourite sources, the Chinese language “Economic Daily News”, DigiTimes state that MSI will be revealing their first Android netbook offering at the Computex 2009. Computex Taipei has become the largest computer exhibition in Asia and the second largest in the world, next to CeBIT in Germany.It would certainly be a suitable place for MSI to announce an Android based netbook. As usual, I don’t automatically trust “news” from DigiTimes, but hopefully this snippet is bang on. We’ll find out on June 2nd when Computex starts.
