Rockchip plans on slashing Android phone prices with new RK2808 chipset
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.
