On the occasion of a product announcement in Taiwan, Peter And, the company's VP for marketing has told to ePrice that their first Android model will use the Android 2.0 "Donut" platform (still under development), this being followed by several smartphones using the same system. The manufacturer has probably chosen the second edition of Android so they can easily embed the company's image in the system, as the current solutions have serious limitations for developers in terms of menu design. Besides these soon-to-be-announced handsets, Mr. Ang has also revealed that they will continue their Windows Mobile and Symbian product line, but no further details have been disclosed about these. The recently revealed HTC Hero is probably also based on Android 2.0, which provides a high level of customizability, as based on the first videos, both for the standby screen and the menu items.
