Pantech are a company known for budget phones over here, but recently they’ve decided to move on into making high-end Android handsets, and their latest device to be released in Korea looks pretty sweet. Called the Vega S IM-A730S, the phone packs a 1.2GHz Snapdragon CPU, DDR2 RAM, a 4″ (800 x 480) touchscreen, Android 2.2 (unfortunately), support for HD video playback and HSPA+ capabilities. No word on pricing or if it will make it to our shores, but those of you in Korea will be able to purchase them at the end of the month, presumably with a contract from Sky.

Android: Android is the 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. You can follow Ubergizmo on Android with Google Currents.
