Impressive OHA Android Demo at Google IO.

Posted on 28 May 2008 by



News just breaking from the Google IO keynote is that Google have completed a very impressive demo of Android on an unknown mobile device. Engadget thinks its the ‘Dream’ but i’m not sure where they got that info from.

At the moment its looking like an iPhone-class device but remember, Android would easily scale to bigger devices and different CPU architechtures. The HTC MID could be pretty interesting but will it be Android or Moblin based? I still think that Intel could push Moblin in as the core OS for Android on X86 devices.

    Can you see Android as the full stack of your MID? Wouldn’t you want a real OS like UME or XP there?
    I guess that I am missing something big …

    Thanks for the link :) We don’t think it’s the Dream – Google wouldn’t say who the OEM behind it was, but they confirmed the specs in the Q&A: http://androidcommunity.com/android-prototype-qa-video-and-transcript-plus-hardware-details-20080528/
