In our first podcast of the year, Matt from TracyandMatt.co.uk correctly predicted that Gigabyte would adopt Google’s Android OS and slap into on the G-Smart. They did.

The Gigabyte Android smartphone doesn’t have a name yet, but it’s part of the GSmart series – which, until now, included only Windows Mobile devices.

The new handset runs Android 1.6, it has a trackball and measures 103 x 54 x 13.4 millimeters. Mobile-review has some photos of the device:

• GSM / GPRS / EDGE connectivity
