| the biggest players in the smartphone world, and the largest maker of Windows
| Mobil phones around. It produces some of the most popular phones on the
| market, the Touch and Touch Pro among them.

Google Android Netbooks Hit China

,----[ Quote ]
| Looking to get your hands on a netbook with some official Android goodness?
| While the US manufacturers havenât caught on yet, Chinaâs Skytone certainly
| has and would love to offer you the Alpha-680 netbook for about $100. It
| comes in white, black, yellow, pink and red. 3G, Ethernet, Wifi and USB ports
| are all included to get you connected and an SD card reader will provide you
| with more storage. Youâre going to need it too since it only sports 1GB of
| solid state memory.
