Back at the end of September, we brought to you some new info on a gaming handheld device called ODROID, which runs Android. This time, we bring more news on the ODROID gaming handheld, which was a big hit with the development community. Our good friends over at SlashGear were uncertain about the future of such device. But the ODROID developer edition units have sold-out, and a second batch will go on sale in Korea next week. As we know, the device has been available for pre-order for a while, and will actually launch in Korea on November 5th. The price will be about $320, and the processor runs at 833MHz, with 512MB of RAM. The 3.5-inch capacitive touchscreen is capable of 720p HD video playback, as you can see in the first video below. Since this device is not a phone, there's no 3G, but there’s WiFi b/g, Bluetooth, as well as a mini-HDMI port, together with USB Host. On the second video - below - you can see it in action with an Android game called Baseball Superstars 2009.
