Routon have released more information on their upcoming MID product range, and it’s not great news for anyone eagerly anticipating the potentially Android-based P730 and P760 units. The two touchscreen MIDs are still in “research status”, according to Routon, and may be available in the second half of 2009.
It’s not just MIDs that Routon make: the company also has an HD Internet Media Player on offer, the Routon H3. Based on Intel’s CE3100 processor, with integrated MPEG2, VC-1/WM9 and H.264 hardware decoding, the H3 can output 1080p via HDMI together with stream media via gigabit ethernet or WiFi. There’s also a Bluetooth remote control with QWERTY keyboard and trackpad.
When we caught up with Chinese MID manufacturer Routon at CES back in January, they were looking for distributors for their P760 MID. Now the company has another touchscreen MID on offer, the Routon P730, which keeps the 4.8-inch touchscreen of the P760 but drops the hardware keypad. Also on offer now is Android support.
Routon have brought their latest Mobile Internet Device (MID), the P760, to CES this week, complete with a 4.8-inch 800 x 480 touchscreen, ARM11 processor and optional mobile broadband. The P760 is based on Linux and has either 4GB or 8GB of solid-state storage, 128MB of RAM and a 2-megapixel camera.
