Peloton’s Android exercise bike with a 21.5-inch screen raising money at Kickstarter

We’ve seen a number of different Android devices, including phones, tablets, cameras, TVs and set-top boxes. Like that’s not enough, now we have an exercise bike relying on Google’s mobile platform raising cash and awareness at Kickstarter.

The Peloton Bike has top notch specs, including:

• Frame: Carbon steel and aluminum monocoque construction
• Resistance: Neodymium rare earth magnet resistance system
• Drive: Poly V power transmission belt drive
• Pedals: LOOK Delta compatible thermoplastic pedals
• Seat: Sport series saddle with depressed ergonomic center channel
• Crank arms: 170mm carbon steel
• Bottom bracket: Precision steel 13/68mm

As for the brains part, there’s a 21.5-inch full HD touchscreen running Android 4.1. Inside that big-ass display, you have TI’s OMAP 4470 dual-core processor clocked at 1.5GHz, 1GB of RAM, wired (Ethernet) and wireless (Wi-Fi + Bluetooth) connectivity, stereo speakers, 1.3-megapixel camera, and all the software an exercise fan could need (with the ability to install even more apps).

HTC Butterfly S announced: 1.9GHz Snapdragon 600 CPU, UltraPixel camera and a 5-inch screen

As expect, HTC has officially announced the Butterfly S at its event in Taiwan. The new device is a successor to the original Butterfly, sporting the same-sized 5-inch full HD screen along with other high-end hardware like UltraPixel camera on the back, 2.1-megapixel front-facing camera, 2GB of RAM, solid 3,200mAh battery and 16GB of built-in storage. Unlike the company’s flagship device, HTC One, the Butterfly S sports a microSD card slot and a faster Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor clocked at 1.9GHz.

HTC will start selling its new phone in July in Taiwan, asking NT$22,900 (about $766) for the unlocked, SIM-free device. Unfortunately, there’s no word when it will also be available in other parts of the world like Europe and the Americas. We do hope these regions will get this phone with Verizon perhaps announcing the Butterfly S as a Droid DNA2. We don’t have any such information, but we’ll make sure to get back to you as soon as we hear something new on this…
