On Monday we showed you the video of Texas Instruments’ non-touchscreen Android prototype at the Mobile World Congress; today we’ve got their touchscreen version demonstrated live on video.  Two aspects of this demo stand out for me, firstly the hardware itself - TI have put together what they claim is a sub-$1,000 reference platform targeted predominantly at the open-source community - and secondly as this is a great, working example of the “building blocks” menu GUI we saw in the latest Android release.

The system in the video - the TI OMAP3430 Wireless Development Platform with 640 x 480 VGA touchscreen - might not look much, but it could be a relatively low-cost way for small developers to begin coding in earnest for the Android OS.
