Following our recent look at the X10 Mini we've now got another dinky Android device. This is the Motorola FLIPOUT. It's named FLIPOUT because the keyboard rotates down from the lower left corner of the screen. It's a 2.8" screen and, without the ...

The o2 XDA Venn actually appeared a couple of years ago in the USA as the Pantech Duo. It's an interesting idea - there's no touch screen but there are two keyboards - a sliding QWERTY out the side and a numeric keypad down the bottom. Specs Desp...
