Eken M001 Andrid MID Hacked – Better Specs
A bloke named Carnivore over at Slatedroid did not take no for an answer when confronted with the disappointment that is generally associated with the Eken M001 VIA WM8505 powered Android 1.6 MID, and instead hacked the device to improve various specs. Among them was an improved battery life (increasing the battery capacity from 1600mAh to 5200mAh now giving him 7-12 hours of battery life versus the original 1-2 you could count on), as well as adding a USB hub and flash drive internally, and also added a front-facing camera. He was unable to keep the MID slim and had to modify the back cover so that it now protrudes some 2 inches, making the device less portable but it is overall more functional.
