Motorola just launched an Android-powered desktop computer in China that hosts all sorts of home entertainment content. The HMC3260 has an 18.5-inch LED touchscreen that can play TV shows, movies, play games, browse the web, and otherwise run Android apps. Motorola partnered up with a cloud service provider called WASU to load this thing up with content. Here are the specs.
• Freescale i.MX53 ARM Cortex A8 1GHz
• Memory: 1 GB DDR RAM, 4 GB NAND flash memory.
• 18.5-inch LED display (1366x768 @ 60Hz, 16:9 widescreen)
• Android 2.3.4 operating system, customized Android Launcher with rich desktop experience
• TV and video client and integration
• Broadband internet access through EuroDOCSIS and LAN (PPPoE / DHCP +, etc.)
While Android is certainly no stranger to dipping its toes in the desktop computer world, it's not often we see big-name manufacturers create an all-out desktop device complete with a mouse and keyboard. It's still running Android 2.3 Gingerbread, so don't expect a whole lot from the Motorola HMC3260, but the concept sure is interesting.
There's no information on pricing or availability, but you can find more info at the source link below. Could you imagine an Android-powered device that would replace a traditional desktop computer? I'm looking at you, Transformer Prime owners.
