This IMEI number is unique to your iPhone. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe.

Needless to say, this is just a quick technical demo created by the bods at Qualcomm, rather than a real taster for what Android has to offer mobile game developers….MORE….

Okay, true, the prototype Android handset looks like something out of a toddler’s playroom LEGO explosion, but hey…give them time. :)

ThankYouVeryMuch!
