Epic win for us long suffering Consumers. I doubt all the pending Android powered MIDs, especially the ones that don't offer GSM/3G connectivity, will ever eclipse the iTunes ecosystem - but there's more to mobile computing than music and games. The discriminating geek will want much higher levels of utility and personalization. I would love to see some kind of rough tally by Dave and Mari as to the number of Android powered gadgets at CES this year.

I doubt all the pending Android powered MIDs, especially the ones that don’t offer GSM/3G connectivity, will ever eclipse the iTunes ecosystem – but there’s more to mobile computing than music and games. The discriminating geek will want much higher levels of utility and personalization.

I would love to see some kind of rough tally by Dave and Mari as to the number of Android powered gadgets at CES this year.

However, I'd posit that everyone and their mother will be coming out with a MID in the next 12 months. I'm curious how long Apple can maintain its dominance.

Engadget dug it and its apparent Android platform.." It *IS* Android and I can verify its actually running the yet-to-be-released Cupcake branch. To say the Movit Mini is merely a iPod Touch knock-off is short sighted since listening to music and playing games is only a tiny aspect of its potential. Compare to the "one trick pony" iPod Touch with its closed, vendor locked OS, the Movit Mini will provide much more utility. “…The company had an iPod Touch knock-off called the Movit Mini with a 4.3″ touch screen.
