11 cool Android prototypes we'd like to see

The Android mobile operating system is invading not only new handhelds but a host of new portable gadgets, including laptops and media tablets.

Alienware Android Phone



Here is an Android prototype/concept created by Jas Seehra for the Web site Dial-a-Phone. Although we've titled this roundup "11 Cool Android Prototypes We'd Like to See," this is the exception--we hope it never makes it to market. Why? Simply because it is ugly.

This mockup of an Alienware phone first showed up as a rumor. At the time, February 2008, the buzz was that Dell was about to enter (again) the mobile market with something more inspiring than the Axim handheld it discontinued in 2007. And what could power a hip Alienware phone? Android of course.

Here's hoping Dell won't give any thought to this concept.
