If you’ve been waiting with baited breath for T-Mobile’s pre-order page for Motorola’s first Android device, we have some news for you. The carrier has just announced plans that the CLIQ will be $199.99 on a two-year contract.

To refresh your memory, the handset features a QWERTY keyboard and a full touch screen display, along with integration with Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, Gmail, and other email services.

Motorola’s Android-powered Sholes A855 handset recently passed the FCC, so it should be ready for sale in North America soon. Photos, a feature-set and user manuals aren’t yet available, but a data sheet confirms that the Sholes will include EVDO Rev A network support and have a Wi-Fi radio. The phone is expected to hit Verizon stores in October as the Tao.

Some other specs include a 3.7-inch, 480×854 resolution touchscreen and a slide-out QWERTY keyboard. Built-in RAM is capped at 256MB, but 512MB of storage space is built in. The device should come with an 8GB microSDHC memory card as well. You also get an autofocusing 5-megapixel camera and GPS.

An Archos Android-based phone had been rumored around the time it launched the Archos 5 Internet Tablet, and look what has just shown up on video. We can’t make heads or tails of French, but the spec sheet tells us what we need to know.

This baby Features a 1GHz ARM Cortex processor and a 4.3-inch 854 x 480 screen wrapped up in a 10mm thin titanium casing. Looks like a front-facing camera as well. Hopefully we’ll get more details soon. It looks pretty sexy. Check out a video below.

Teclast is back with a new portable media player called the T58. It will have Rockchip’s RK2808 chipset inside for decent performance on-the-go, and of course Wi-Fi connectivity and the touchscreen display is capable of handling 720p video playback.

The device also has support for the following codecs, H.264, RMVB, MPEG-4, AVS and WMV9. The Teclast T58 is expected to retail for about $147 when released. No word on when exactly that will be. We’re hoping it comes with a built-in memory card slot for expansion.

One of the larger of the privately held wireless providers in the country is Cellular South. The mobile provider is one of the more vocal that has been crying foul over the exclusive arrangements that the major national carriers are striking for devices like the Pre and the iPhone.

Luckily, for Cellular South customers HTC didn’t give a major carrier an exclusive on the sweet HTC Hero Android phone. The device will hit the Cellular South network soon with preorders starting on October 5.

There has been all sorts of anticipation built up around the Motorola event held on the 10th where the company debuted its new Android smartphones. Among the new phones was the Motorola Cliq with Motoblur.

The handset is powered by Android and will be a T-Mobile exclusive when it hits the U.S. this fall. The handset has a QWERTY keyboard that slides out and a full touch screen display as well. Motorola designed the phone for tight integration with Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, Gmail, and other email sources. Motoblur provides access to these features without needing to open or close any applications.

For those of you who have been patiently waiting, Android has finally joined the ranks of handsets with a mobile version of Facebook available. Through some recently released information on Facebook’s “Facebook for Android” page, the app appears to have a fairly comprehensive set of features.

Android users can post status updates, view news feeds, friends’ walls and user info. Facebook for Android can also share photos from the phone and also can look up 125 friends’ phone numbers from the home screen, all from the home screen.

Seems like China is the land of Android lately. And here’s the LG GW880, the company’s first Android phone. To clarify, in this case “Android” means China Mobile’s custom WiFi-less OPhone platform, so we won’t be seeing this one outside of China.

It gives you a good idea of what LG’s handset designers have in mind for Android sets though. This one sports the following specs: A stunning 3.5-inch WVGA touchscreen, 256MB RAM, GPS, and a five megapixel camera.

Archos’s 4.8-inch A5 series has already passed the FCC, and now we have price and capacity info on the device which will launch on September 15th. The A5 will come in two flash and two hard drive capacities, featuring a 16/32GB SSD or a 160/500GB HDD.

It will cost you $294 for the 16GB version, $370 for the 32GB, $320 for the 160GB and $420 for the 500GB version. Rumor is that the A5 will have 720p video output, but like the Zune HD, you’ll need to buy a dock. The dock for the A5 with DVR functionality is $130.

MIPS Technologies along with Sigma Designs demonstrated an Android-based set-top box that is capable of 1080p video. It’s being hailed as “a major milestone toward the creation of a reference platform” that will allow Android-based devices to enter your living room.

They’ve made enhancements to Android libraries and the MIPS architecture so that the OS can run on a full-sized display at HD resolutions, rather than small handset displays. The specific Sigma SoC (system-on-chip) used for the prototype is unknown, but it may be the SMP8640-series chip already used in Blu-ray players and other video devices.

Turns out that the mysterious Android MID we told you about last week is a Rockchip concept intended to demonstrate the Chinese chip makers new RK2808 720p-decoding chipset. PConline played with one of the prototypes and it holds up pretty well, even though it isn’t meant for the consumer market in it’s current form.

It supports the usual multiple windows of an Android smartphone and all the menus and features of the OS are there. Of course, we won’t be seeing it on store shelves any time soon, sadly. But in time, production devices using the RK2808 will start showing up.

This isn’t the first Android desktop phone to surface, but Cloud Telecomputers’ 8-inch touchscreen Android Glass phone keeps the old landline intact and adds a bunch of communications functions. When you put Android in a desktop phone, you get plenty of useful apps, like visual voicemail, calendars, SMS, and email.

Think about the other useful apps that could also be on the way. Cloud Telecomputers is thinking about them and expects lots of third party Android apps to be built especially for the business phone platform. It supports landlines and various VoIP and SIP clients.

We have almost zero info on this beauty, but it has us drooling like a rabid dog. It’s a little touchscreen device that’s running Android and looks like it’s about 4.5 inches by 4 inches, like a larger version of the iPhone. Looks like it has two buttons on the top of the device and SD storage.

It may be a prototype. We don’t know who makes it or if it will even be for sale. Hopefully we’ll learn more about this device soon. If it’s real and the price is good, this could be a pretty neat open-source tablet. It’s sexy no?

Here’s something you don’t see everyday. We like it. Samsung has launched the ND10 netbook and is allowing you to purchase it OS free. By being free and unshackled of any OS, it allows the buyer to choose what ever OS they want to install, whether it’s XP, Android or Linux.

The ND10 is pretty similar to the NC10 in specs and sports a 10.2 inch screen, an Intel Atom N270 processor and over seven hours of battery life. They are pretty much the same, with you saving $50 by installing your own OS.

The Motorola Sholes was recently spotted and is rumored to be equipped with the following specifications: 3.7″ touchscreen display at 480 x 854 resolution, 512MB internal memory, 256MB RAM, microSDHC memory card slot, 5-megapixel camera with autofocus, GPS navigation, USB, Bluetooth 2.0 and Wi-Fi connectivity, Multimedia playback support, CDMA and EVDO Rev A supported .

Nothing on pricing yet. It’s a nice design change from Moto. Hopefully it will become real one day soon. That’s it’s dream. Just like Pinocchio. …
