GeeksPhone One was announced this past summer and now, according to Android France, is finally available to those in Europe. Android France got their hands on one and posted some pics. Although a long time has passed since the initial announcement, no  upgrades have been made to make the GeeksPhone One more competitive, given the slew of Android phones since summer of 2009.

Seems like an interesting concept to be able to control other devices from your mobile phone. If this is the beginning of what is to come from this year’s MWC, we should see a bunch of industry firsts and improvements. We will keep you updated on the MWC launch and other news. Inbrics plans to introduce the MID M1 in Europe in 2010 or early 2011. Is this the device you’ve been waiting for? If so, looks like you will be waiting for a bit longer.

Gigabyte Android: Late 2010, Nothing Like Pictured

Thursday, February 4th, 2010

Flying from Las Vegas back to Baltimore, we showed you leaked pictures of the Gigabyte GSmart Android Phone. To refresh your memory… they are the pictures below:

Welp, hate to tell you but they’re fake. Matt from TraceyAndMatt spoke with a close connection at Gigabyte who said while they ARE working on an Android Phone that will appear late in 2010 at the earliest, NONE of the prototypes they’re working on look anything like the images above.

The next few phones Gigabyte will release are based on WinMo and the GigaDroid might not launch until 2011… if at all. So hopefully that is all cleared up for the time being. Unless, ya know, Matt’s connect was trying to throw him off the trail with a fake scent! Doubt it.
