INQ to Launch Android Phones Soon- woohoo more for us!

Last year, manufacturer of popular social networking phones INQ Mobile had announced that it would soon be coming up with an Android based handset. This was back in September. Almost nine months down the line, looks like it is finally ready to shed some details regarding this upcoming phone.

According to GigaOM, INQ’s first Android device would be available starting the fourth quarter of 2010. It will feature a touchscreen display coupled with multi-touch capabilities. When launched, this would be the first real smartphone from INQ who, until now, has been selling BREW based phones themed for compatibility with popular social networks such has Facebook and Twitter.

INQ has also entered the Indian market recently and has a tie-up with Aircel owing to which there is a good chance that this upcoming Android laden phone will be launched in India as well.

As of now, little is known regarding this upcoming Android based phone apart from the fact that it is “on its way”. Looks like we’d need to wait for some leaked images of this one or for an official unveiling by the company in the next few weeks!
