"Proof-of-concept showing the Android operating system on a REDFLY Smartphone Terminal.

Speed and stability will increase as the concept is developed. The Android devices output resolution is changed to 800x480 then video output is routed to the REDFLYs 8-inch screen. REDFLY also allows the use of its built-in keyboard and touchpad to control the Android device.

The REDFLY Smartphone Terminal has no OS, CPU or storage. REDFLY does not require syncing of data back and forth to a phone as all data and settings remain on the phone itself. This proof-of-concept will be on display during CES 2009 at booth #3934. "

It has same size and weight as 7 inch UMPCs, but with 8 inch 800 x 480 screen ( no touch )

It has 2 usb ports, bluetooth and vga out. ( no wifi )

...And software which let's you use your Windows Mobile phone from it's keyboard and mouse, showing WM interface stretched to that 8 inch screen. ( no internal sw, browser etc. )

...And it will cost you $500.

It better be a super good software as i can do all this with Asus Eee and any other UMPC... There are similar software's, some even for free...

But let them show more at CES, maybe there is something more...

Btw. look at that keyboard.. same as in Eee PC, Korean Kohjinsha and Flybook..
