There's a Full Android Phone in This Week's Entertainment Weekly (mashable.com) 4 points by filmgirlcw 13y ago ↗ HN The CW put a "live Twitter feed" inside its ad in EW this week. It turns out, that feed is a full-blown Android smartphone.
[–] voltagex_ 13y ago ↗ Pity there's only 1000 of these, it'd be fun to see if I could flash this with a newer OS. [–] filmgirlcw 13y ago ↗ totally, though I'm not sure it'd be worth it. As best I can tell (I helped with the teardown), it's a 400mhz processor, 256MB of RAM and is running Android 2.2. Anything beyond that would likely hurt performance more than it already is.I'm 99% sure this is it, based on the schematic and how the phone responded to us touching the contacts that aligned with the image: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Cheapest-Android-mobile-phone...
