Rockchip, already a favorite among dirt cheap,
feature-laden PMPs, has its sights set on android and we
couldn't be happier. The company sees Android's free nature being
the perfect match for the Chinese market, and plans to release its
low-cost RK2808 chipset in October to take advantage of that. In
addition to Android, Rockchip claims the RK2808 enables additional
multimedia capability over what's currently available in Android
handsets. No matter how well the RK2808 pans out, it's obvious that
the second half of this year will mark a real explosion in Android,
and if we could get some $100 or $200 unlocked imports mixed in
there somewhere, we certainly wouldn't be complaining.
