New GSmart Android headed for budget market

Taiwanese manufacturer, Gigabyte, is adding an Android to its GSmart line of devices, which previously consisted of WinMo phones. Mobile-Review says the so far unnamed phone features 256 MB RAM/512 MB ROM, A 2.8″ QVGA TOUCH SCREEN, AGPS, Bluetooth 2.0, b/g Wi-Fi, G-Sensor, “trace ball,” 3.5mm audio jack, a 1500 mAh battery, 2.0 MP cam, and will ship with Android 1.6. All very meh, except the trace ball, which I am a bit curious about. Looks very affordable.

Android 1.6 makes the phone definitely worth it if it's cheap enough. QVGA is kinda lame though.

This is a good move. I think they should have been making low end Android phones that everyone can afford from the beginning.
