AT&T on works to launch HTC Fiesta
A couple of months back, there had been reports that Google plans to launch 15-20 Android devices by the end of this year. Also, there were reports that 50% of HTC phones releasing next year, would come loaded with Android. Both these news seem to be fruitifying now. Almost every day, news of some or the other Android device in the making crops up. Now, according to AndroidGuys, AT&T is working on an Android-powered device, the HTC Fiesta.
The speculated specs of the device are :
- ARM11 Processor
- Phone Keypad
- 240×320 Display
- MIDI, AAC, MP3, 3GP, OGG.
Having a look at the specs, it makes me suppose that this would be a low-end device, targeting the masses. Will it have touch screen ? And, will it have features like inbuilt GPS ? Possible! Moreover, we have no news about the pricing or the release date of the device.
So, are you already eyeing this device ? Just stay glued to GAndroidmix and we will keep you abreast with any further details regarding the phone.

Sprint readying two Android devices for an October 11th release
If you are a regular at xda-developers, you would be knowing that some time back in April, a senior member had posted “I work for a wireless developer firm and I have just received word from the US carrier (cannot disclose who yet) that the release date for the HTC Hero (Android) is October 11th 2009.” Now, that was amazing. But, the announcement seems to be fruitifying now. Have a look at the picture below :
There are not one, but two devices awaiting an Octber 11th release. But, what is Samsung Q ? Is it some mysterious device or is it, the much heard-of, Samsung i7500 ? We had also heard that Samsung is working on an Android-powered 4G device. Does that mean, Samsung Q will have 4G ? Lets wait and watch.
