GiiNii was at CES this past week with a demonstration of their newest product the Movit Mini.  This sort of Internet tablet has support for Wi-Fi but there is no support for cellular bands. The good thing about this tablet is that it is Android-powered.

The Movit Mini comes with a beautiful 4.3-inch touchscreen with a resolution of 480 x 272 pixels. With the aid of a microphone, speaker and webcam you will be able to place Skype calls with the built-in support for Skype. Internally there is 256MB of memory expandable via microSD card slot.

Along the side you will find a 3.5mm headphone jack and there is also interface support for Bluetooth 2.0. It sure seems that smaller companies are looking to Android to help boost them into the more mainstream market. The GiiNii Movit Mini will be released to the public about the middle of 2009 for about $149.

  1. Anything that is sexy and Android Powered, I am buying it.

    (And has all the hardware requirement I need)
  2. I'm actually impressed, if not for having my own G1, I would go for this.

    The price is great... actually, I may end up getting something like this for my hubby who is not ready to make the leap into the smart phone world ("all I want is to be able to make calls" - pshhhh)

    I'm so glad to see Android getting more and more popular!
  3. Does it have GPS, allowing for location-aware services? How about an integrated camera?

    I believe it does have GPS, and yes, it has a front facing camera for video chatting.
