I am looking to get my hands on a physical WVGA device for android. Are any available yet? I saw an old (speculative) post about the HTC Touch 2 perhaps being an android device, alas, the HTC site says that device runs windows mobile.
I have found more recent blogging about the SMiT 560, but can't find it for sale. http://www.google.com/search?q=SMIT+MID-560 http://www.smit.com.cn/English/proDetail.asp?InfoId=126&js=2 Can anyone shed more light on what/when is available in the WVGA department for Android?
