The Vodafone 845 Android phone, the cheapest and smallest Android phone we’ve seen so far, has just been made official.

Previously we’d seen a number of leaks and renders of the dainty device, but now that Vodafone have given the 845 Android phone a proper green light we can report with a full picture and video spread.

Specs-wise, the Vodafone 845 is similar to the HTC Tattoo and T-Mobile Pulse Mini with a reasonable 2.8-inch QVGA screen, Wi-Fi, GPS, HSDPA and a 3.2 megapixel camera. Design-wise, with it’s angled bottom lip, it somewhat resembles the forthcoming HTC Smart, which is no bad thing.

On the software front the 480 comes pre-loaded with Vodafone’s 360 apps (slightly confusing if you ask us) and it also runs Android 2.1 so will offer users free Google Maps Navigation in the UK.

A definite price tag is still forthcoming but we’d expect to see the Vodafone 845 land on Pay As You Go soon. In the meantime, check it out in our Vodafone 845 official photo gallery, and for more depth, check out the video.

The Vodafone 845 launches in the UK in May.

Here’s one for the geeks out there. A video has surfaced on YouTube of a jail-broken iPhone running Android!

The hacker admits that the incarnation of Google’s OS isn’t near production standards and runs more like an Alpha development model, but it seems to run all the necessary features pretty well.

It’s also only seen working on a first-generation iPhone model. Nevertheless, the we think the choice of operating system on start up look super-cool!

Twitter has announced that it is working on an official Android app.

The news came from CEO Evan Williams, who told the audience of the Twitter Chirp conference that Google’s open source-operating system would soon get its own fully native app for the microblogging sensation.

Last week, Twitter acquired Tweetie for the Apple iPhone, and also teamed up with RIM to build an offical app for their Blackberry range.

The new Android Twitter app will face some stuff competition from existing third-party client applications like Seesmic or Twit Droid, but bearing the ‘official’ tag could well prove a big selling point.
