MTube, known most famously in these parts for its diminutive, WiMAX-sportin' media player, seems to be putting some time and effort into Android as of late. While the MTube II hybrid Android / XP / tablet / netbook has certainly inspired its share of techno-lust, the Android MID hits us where it counts: in front of the television. The unholy union of a handheld and a multimedia controller, this guy lets you drag and drop video from the device to your TV, stream media to the TV or vice versa, and transfer files between multiple MTubes -- all this in addition to the core functionality of the OS. Details are still scant: although we know it's rocking an ARM Processor, a 7.6-inch 800 x 480 capacitive touchscreen OLED, and Android 1.6, there's no word on storage or memory, or even how the video is streamed (we think that WiFi might be a good guess). As it stands, the thing is most certainly not ready for prime time (as becomes painfully obvious when the system crashes at 1 minute 45 seconds), but as a taste of things to come we're definitely intrigued. Peep the video after the break to see for yourself.

Too bad you're not going blind...
This is EXACTLY the thing I have been trying to figure out how to hobble together from a chumby, photoframe, netbook... I want one... no, I want 3
Why'd you shut down comments on the Houston traffic reporter Engadget?
UI looks annoying and lacking functionality like zooming and expanding the PIP to fullscreen.
And that bar of icons above the actual screen takes the lustre from the actual screen.
It's all a bit too unexciting somehow.
was that a modified version of the engadget logo on the back?
Hahaha, The demo unit they were using crashed
