5-inch Android Tablet SMiT MID-560 at IFA 2009

oh those chinese totally copied archos

I don't think it has a cell radio but on 2:53, It has call settings. Maybe it's just because the OS came from the phone and everything got transfered.

it lags

you heard him say it does not have 2g yet right?

is that a phone as well?

Now this is more like it!

No hardware keyboard and no demonstration of portrait orientation support are detractors, though. Android is also a relatively young platform, thus resulting in a lack of apps, but that will be fixed in time.

Just add a capacitive stylus, some good handwriting apps, and I'll have a very good hx4700 replacement candidate, so long as they keep the price to under US$400.

It seemed pretty beta to me as well.

We do know that the next versions of Android will support handwriting recognition over the entire system and larger resolution support.

Should be good!

Handwriting recognition everywhere? Really?

Now I'm even more intrigued by Android, whereas most of my attention usually goes to Windows Mobile with a bit of Maemo on the side. (As flawed as WM is, the apps I have for it let me do things no other platform currently can, at least until the developers get rolling on these other platforms. However, time is eroding away that advantage...)

errm... where's the (virtual) keyboard???!!
If I can type on it, and the price is right, I'm buying one.

Agreed, this could be a nice device.
