Is this an actual Android phone?

I saw an article about gambling with Android and I don't recognize the phone in the picture. It doesn't have any branding besides the Google on the back. Anyone know if this is a legit phone and whose it is? I like it!

I don't think so. It's one of those mockups that was made when there were rumors of Google making a mobile phone themselves. Before it was known that Android would be just the OS.

looks like it running WinMo, look at the icons on the screen.

Yeah that screenie is of a device running Windows Mobile 5.

it could have been an early prototype for the mytouch, who knows. a lot of prototypes never make it to the mainstream.

That orange square on the top of the front is the logo for the UK service provider orange.

its not a prototype nor could it have been.. Its obviously running winmo not android, therefor if it was a prototype for a phone it would have been a winmo based one not an android based one..

Samsung Smart Watch on the Way, Exec Confirms

Samsung has a smart watch on the way, a company executive recently confirmed. “We’ve been preparing the watch product for so long,” the company’s executive vice president of mobile Lee Young Hee told*Bloomberg. “We are working very hard to get ready for it.” Samsung recently introduced the Galaxy S4 with a bevvy of accessories, including a smart wrist band that can keep track of calories burned, distance traveled and more, but this is an entirely different product.
Screenshots from*Samsung’s alleged smart watch leaked in mid-February, showing off what appeared to be a version of Android and the “Altius” moniker. The shots suggested that users will not only be able to check the time but also check maps, control music, manage their inbox and more.
Apple, too, is allegedly working on an iWatch, and we imagine there’s going to be a race to the market in some form or another. Samsung’s executive didn’t say when the watch will hit the market, although the urgency in hits quotes suggested Samsung’s working to get it to market as soon as possible.

HTC One 8

Do you think the rumours about Windows Phone 8 running on HTC One are true? If so, would you want it?
I read the rumour a couple of days ago a I think it's an awesome idea. Even better would be, if someone
managed to port it and allowed dual booting.
So what is your opinion? Are you die-hard Android fans or would you give Windows a chance?
Because I personally would flash it right away, although I love Android and am not going to abandon this os
in foreseeable future, but having two great OSs on one phone certainly sounds awesome.​

As this is not about the HTC One / android this is a different device and is considered off topic. All off topic threads go in the OT section in XDA until such a time that a forum is created for that phone.

Use Your Old Android As A Secondary Monitor

Use Your Old Android As A Secondary Monitor
You know that old HP touchpad was a great tablet but it's just been sitting around for years now. You can't bring yourself to throw it away but what on Earth could you use it for?
Hi, my name Steve Shockmonster and I'm here to tell you how you can turn any old Android tablet into a secondary screen for your computer. By installing an app on both your pc and Android device, you can activate an extended display setup. This will allow you to move your open windows to your tablet by dragging it off screen.There are many practical uses for this feature and almost anyone would be able to take advantage of this.
So what app do you need to get this working? Well I've put together a list that will get you all setup.

I ran across this interesting project that allows you to donate the processing speed of your old Android device to help with scientific research. This means that you're officially a scientist and your friends should call you "Doctor".
All you have to do is install an app called BIONIC and you'll be able get started supporting the research of your choice.
