on 01/07/2010 08:54 PDT

This is certainly a weird looking Android device, but once you take a 2nd look at it, you’ll notice that the Motorola HS1001 is really a cordless home phone that has been updated to support Google’s Android, making it one of the first Android-powered home phones. The HS1001 sports dual Wi-Fi technology, allowing it to connect to its own base station, as well as the home Wi-Fi network. Motorola is looking to launch the phone in the UK first, followed by a US launch in Q2 2010. This phone should be going for $149. Specifications include:

DSPG Arm9 240 MHz processor
2.8 inch resistive touch screen (QVGA)
256 MB flah ROM / 128 MB RAM
MicroSD expansion slot
Powered by stock Android 1.6 (no Motoblur)

Android Android is mobile operating system from Google. The software was originally built by a company called Android Inc, that was purchased by Google in 2005. From its modest debuts, Android has become a powerhouse that powers not only smartphones and tablet, but a host of other less high-profile devices and gadgets. Although Android is not a community-driven project, Google does release the source code as open-source under the Apache license.
