BenQ’s new T60 is holding down the 3.2 megapixel camp with some serious hotness. The slick candybar features a 2.2 inch QVGA display, “high quality media player” (whatever that means), integrated radio, 24MB of onboard memory, and microSD expansion — you know, for actually making the camera and music player useful. BenQ’s touting the whole package as being “affordable,” too, which makes sense considering that the data flow appears to top off at measly GPRS speeds. Look for it to launch in Taiwan, Turkey, and Bangladesh this month — quite a hodgepodge of countries if you ask us — this month.
The BenQ T60 features an embedded handy caller black list function that is able to screen out unwanted calls. It comes with 24 MB of internal memory, integrated stereo FM radio with schedule recording function, and a micro SD card slot. it supports reproduction of MPEG4, MP3, AMR, MIDI and SP-MIDI music files, and it also features Bluetooth with stereo sound (A2DP), remote control (AVRCP) support, and USB connectivity. It’s standby and talking time are 200 hours and 3 hours, respectively.

We’ve got a real live HTC TyTN II running a real live version of Google’s Android OS. The video is woefully short, but does show the user loading and running a working version of Android onto their HTC handset. The interesting thing here is that Android appears to run as an .EXE on top of the Windows Mobile shell, opening up the possibility to have Android running on a wide variety of Windows Mobile devices. Again, we’re not sure how functional this is just yet, but it’s a promising and exciting step forward for anyone looking to get a taste of Android before the first official devices launch.
