DAWA D7 runs on Android 2.1 to keep up with the times

The DAWA D7 device will feature Android 2.1 as the operating system of choice instead of Windows CE that some folks speculated earlier. You won’t find it to be a speedy device though, considering it runs off a 600Mhz Telechips 8902 chipset which is based on an ARM11 processor, accompanied by a 7″ display at 800 x 480 resolution, 256MB RAM, 2GB of NAND flash storage and a 1500mAh battery which has been rated to run for around 3 hours if you use it for Web surfing. Having said that, it would mean that it ships with Wi-Fi connectivity at the very least, and just in case you don’t like watching videos on the 7″ display, there is always the option to hook it up to a HDTV via its HDMI port. No idea on price and availability at press time though.
