We’ve already seen ViewSonic’s Android-powered monitor and now we have another device that works in a similar fashion. However, the Motorola CloudBB HMC3260 isn’t marketed as monitor, but as a desktop computer which is pretty different proposition — since most of us think Android is still not ready for prime time on computers. Add to that low-end specs and you get everything but impressive end result.
Moto’s baby comes with an 18-inch 1366×768 pixels touchscreen, 1GHz Freescale i.MX53 ARM Cortex A8 CPU, 1GB of RAM, 4GB of internal storage, while Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread is running the show with some sort of custom desktop launcher singing on top.
Now, I must add my doubts here – that CPU can hardly make for smooth graphics on such a display. On the other hand, this product may be marketed as a computer for children or folks who don’t usually use computers.
At the moment, Motorola is targeting China with the CloudBB HMC3260 and we’re not sure whether it will ever be released in other parts of the world. Not that we necessarily want it…

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.
