Remember, the BASF commercials: "We do a lot of products you buy better" what? It is a form of history of Moto Development Group. We have seen the company works to e-ink internal, with a role in the creation of the Zune 2.0 and the Livescribe Pulse. MOTO will be available only for its newest product, but as a reference design MID Android Media Platform (AMP), which runs Android 2.0 is now available for developers. Yes, the DROID is not the only player 2.0 released today. AMP is finally available in three sizes: 10 – which is 5 – and 3.5 inches, the average size model, it runs now. This may be the touch-screen LCD and OLED, OOMPH of a Texas Instruments OMAP3430 processor, accelerometer and GPS is provided, are included as 802.11b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth and 3G mobile option, all powered by a battery of 3000 mAh. There is no word on price, but we think it is somewhat negotiable, depending on the application and, of course, volume, volume, volume of your order.[Via OLED-Info.com]

MTube Android MID streams media to the TV and back via touchscreen

MTube, known most famously in these parts for its diminutive, WiMAX-sportin’ media player, seems to be putting some time and effort into Android as of late. While the MTube II hybrid Android / XP / tablet / netbook has certainly inspired its share of techno-lust, the Android MID hits us where it counts: in front of the television. The unholy union of a handheld and a multimedia controller, this guy lets you drag and drop video from the device to your TV, stream media to the TV or vice versa, and transfer files between multiple MTubes – all this in addition to the core functionality of the OS. Details are still scant: although we know it’s rocking an ARM Processor, a 7.6-inch 800 x 480 capacitive touchscreen OLED, and Android 1.6, there’s no word on storage or memory, or even how the video is streamed (we think that WiFi might be a good guess). As it stands, the thing is most certainly not ready for prime time (as becomes painfully obvious when the system crashes at 1 minute 45 seconds), but as a taste of things to come we’re definitely intrigued. Peep the video after the break to see for yourself.

Well, hello there! Those Dell MID rumors we’ve been hearing have finally received vindication in the form of a nice, picture-heavy leak courtesy of some industrious folks in Vietnam. What we know as of now is that there’s an 800 x 480 touchscreen display, WiFi, Bluetooth and 3G WWAN connectivity, all riding atop an Android 2.0 (aka, Donut) install. A dual-LED flash 5 megapixel camera adorns the back, and there’s a 1,300mAh battery to power all that goodness. See pics below and a video awaits after the break, where an old friend of ours plays with the device
