Whatever this thing is, it looks awesome

Whatever this thing is, it looks awesome

There's not much info about this sexy little device, but there's just enough to get our saliva glands working. It's a little touchscreen that's running Android. Looking to be about 4.5 inches by 4 inches, it looks like a larger-than-normal iPhone. Who makes it? Will it be for sale? What else can it do? All mysteries. But hopefully we'll learn more about this little guy in the not too distant future.

Naw, the screen on this one is bigger and doesn't have any front panel buttons. I would say this was the Zii Egg but it doesn't have the button on the bottom of the front panel either. Hmm...

clever marketing

It has to be said, could this be an apple product? There is rumor of a new apple product coming

An Apple product running Android? Never in a million years.

I think that's the funniest headline DVICE has ever run.

It is a smart phone, but not sure who makes it. There is a line on it's screen that indicates it is a phone," internal phone memory'.

that's a japanese laptop it's resting on, so my guess is it's from a japanese company. the top headline says "SD card and phone storage" so it must be a phone. "internal phone storage" shows what looks like "54 MB" not exactly befitting such a seemingly cool device.. but it could be stuffed full of HD movies and what not, right?

It's real simple more then likely it is the new Creative Zii. go to the usa homepage and click on the flash splash it will forward you to their developers site (SDK). the new Creative Zii runs on Googles Andriod OS

Guys,

With respect to all of you but has anyone bothered to look closely at bottem right part of photo?

A81 MID has 7-inch screen, powered by ARM Cortex A8

This 7.09" x 4.33" x 0.59" tablet is called the A81 MID and even though "velev" is printed on the back, Shenzhen Wei-Zhi Technology Company is taking credit for it. It's easy to see why they would too, as a 600MHz ARM Cortex A8 processor, 7" WVGA touchscreen, WiFi, GPS, and 3000mAh lithium battery are enough to make a lot of manufacturers proud.

So mystery is solved.

looks like android OS.
