Gigabyte will have an Android handset, but it�s not the one you saw

 

I saw a few of these pictures floating around a little while ago, when Gigabyte was announcing it was putting out an Android handset. �Good for them,� I thought, �but they couldn�t come up with something a little more original?� As it turns out � they might have. Because it turns out

those pictures were fakeity-fake. I mean, the pictures themselves were real pictures, but they did not depict an actual Gigabyte handset. Seems weird that there would be this amount of intrigue associated with something as un-exciting as a phone launch by a relatively minor player, but hey. I don�t make the news, I just report it.

The GSmart PR person added that the phone they�re working on is totally different, and likely won�t be seen until late 2010. You�d think they would hurry � by late 2010 we�re going to be swimming in Android devices.
