GW4PCMag is reporting on the first Android handheld being displayed at CES this year. The Winstron GW4 features a familiar slab style smart phone design and currently runs a version of MontaVista Linux 2.6, and Winstron claims that the GW4 will be running Android by March. Consumers may see the GW4 rebranded and sold by more prominent hardware manufacturer.

The specs for the GW4

  • TI OMAP 1710 chipset
  • 216-MHz processor
  • 64 MB of program memory
  • 802.11g Wi-Fi
  • built-in SIP VOIP client for Internet calling
  • 2.5-inch, 320×240 touch screen
  • 2-megapixel camera

The software features programs for Outlook syncing, IM, PDF reading and Opera as a web browser - but will obviously be better served and replaced by Android apps and the Android OS. A future version of this phone is promised later this year
