Eston N97 Android powered MID spotted in the wild
Eston N97 was announced back in last Novenber. Now about four months have passed, the real product finally walked out of Eston’s plants, and made an appearance on the web. Folks on Chinese website midbbs.cn have got the opportunity ahead of all of us to put their hands on this fresh device, and kindly took some pictures to share with all of us, the Internet users.
First of all, we can see a clean design, with slightly rounded corner, and black frame around the display. Of course, if you like, you can add that the design arouses something in your mind about the iiiiiiiiiiiPhone. Obviously there’s a track ball under the display.
Beside the Android OS pre-installed on the device, Eston N97 can runs Windows CE also. Well, nothing new at all, we’ve seem three-boots capable MID, like SmartDevices’ SmartQ v7, which is smart enough to run Android, Windows CE and Ubuntu. This multi-OS stuff doesn’t mean too much really. We don’t see much people around install two systems on their PC, so why on a MID?
Last of all, the some specs you might care to know are a 624MHZ Marvell PXA303 processor, a 7-inch 800×480 touchscreen, Android 1.5 OS, Wi-Fi, a 2800mAh alleged to support 4 hours working time, ability to view and edit word, excel files. The storage stays unknown, and so does the price. The device is now available for pre-order in China.
