Tonight while walking around ShowStoppers here in Las Vegas, I couldn't help but to notice something out of the corner of my eye -- a desktop phone running Android on it! Naturally I had to go and check it out to see what it was all about, and the things I saw were pretty impressive. Running on a 7-inch capacative touch-screen with an 800x395 resolution the ESI 250 runs a custom skin on top of Android 2.2. Now before you go ahead and complain about it running 2.2, let's remember that it is a desktop phone meant for business users who will not be taking it off their desk.
The custom skin offers a rather stock experience, and ESI has wrote a custom market for the users to be able to purchase and download applications from. On the right hand side of the device you will notice three physical buttons, one to take you to the home screen, one to take you back, and one to access the menu. Some rather popular titles will be made available for the ESI 250, such as Evernote, Stickynotes, Sodoku and more. The device will be launching in Q2 at the $300 price point, so if you are a business user who wants to get more out of their devices be sure to be on the look out for this. Hit the break for some more images and a video tour.
