Well, here it is.
Pocket-lint.co.uk have a series of shots up from the Mobile World Congress of ARM's android prototype. This is the same handset we saw a spy shot of before.
The early prototype that Pocket-lint was shown was running on the company's ARM 9 chip, two generations old, on a device that is unlikely to come to market, however that still didn't stop it performing incredibly quickly.
Although the interface will be fully customizable by the handset manufacturer, the prototype design we were shown featured a scroll bar of applications along the bottom of the screen.
The interface also had, as you'll see by the gallery of pictures, a very Apple feel to it, heavily graphical in its interface.
Meanwhile, OHA member Texas Instruments has announced it will unveil a couple of prototypes as well:
Today at Mobile World Congress, Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) (NYSE: TXN) announced it will demonstrate an early look of the Android mobile platform in two forms: a prototype handset based on TI's OMAP850 processor that also includes TI's Wireless LAN (WLAN) and Bluetooth® wireless technology solutions, as well as an OMAP3430 processor-based Zoom Mobile Development Kit from Logic PD. Both demonstrations highlight the flexibility of the OMAP platform's multi-core architecture to deliver high-performance multimedia and sophisticated user interfaces (UI) on the Android platform.
Kinda anti-climactic, ain't it?
