Chinese company TechFaith Wireless Communication Technology will begin commercial production of mobile devices that are running Android in early 2009.

At the moment details are sketchy, to say the least, but we do know the prototype unit is “in general” completed. Apparently, we’ll have more details — including the form factor and the partner company — during November. And that’s about all we know at present.

In the meantime, I can only add that TechFaith works with such mobile companies as Motorola, LG, Amoi, CECT, France Telecom, SK Telecom, Sprint and Bird. Can’t wait to hear more about this…

Dusan Belic

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
