Giinii Movit, The Android Tablet

Posted on 11 January 2009 by Hatem Ben Yacoub

Today the last day at the international CES, 2009 edition. Lots of news coming straight from Las Vegas, starting from the first Android tablet by Giinii : Movit Mini and Maxx !

Movit is a Mobile Internet Device / Mobile social networking service. The WiFi-enabled Movit lets you browse the web and share content on your favorite social networks like Facebook and MySpace.

You can do everything with these devices except making phone calls. Just find yourself a wifi hotspot so you can enjoy Movit :

You can watch streaming videos (that are large enough to really see) and use the built-in video camera as a mini-web cam. But best of all, Movit is Skype™-enabled with a built-in microphone and speaker (with Bluetooth option), allowing you to call other Skype users for FREE! That’s right: free calling wherever you find a WiFi hotspot

Movit features include :

  • WiFi for hotspot use anywhere
  • Skype-enabled
  • Built-in microphone/speaker to make Skype calls and more
  • Bluetooth 2.0 if you want to use a headset or pair with other Bluetooth device
  • Video & still camera can be used as webcam
  • Address book gives you easy access to desired phone numbers
  • 4.3” or 7” screen
  • Stream video and audio
  • Built-in lithium battery so you can take it anywhere
  • Easily connect to social networks like Facebook™, MySpace™, Twitter™, etc.

The device showed on the CES was a Movit Mini and was using Android platform. Giinii website did not mention anywhere the usage of Android on its devices. At the time we posted this article, we have requested confirmation from Giinii, but we got no answer since two days. According Gizmodo (photos credits), Giinii Movit will be available for $149 US.

The device itself showed at the CES was using  the Cupcake development edition of Android since no keyboard is provided with Movit – except the virtual one.
