[Electronics-Talk] That New Phone

[Gerald Levy]

No, the Mini Vision 2does not support Android apps.  It comes with a 
limited set of built-in apps like currency identifier and simple GPS 
locator, but you cannot install other apps.  This is a basic feature 
phone, not a smart phone, and if it doesn't have the features you are 
looking for, then you are out of luck. And for $329, it seems overpriced 
for what it offers. And if it breaks or stops working after the warranty 
expires, which is what always happens, then you are totally screwed 
because you may not be able to get it fixed. Keep in mind that the Mini 
Vision 2 is made by the same company that made the ill-fated Lucia phone 
and Captain GPS device.  Caveat emptor.
