Celio are looking to extend support for their REDFLY smartphone companion device so the company is evidently looking into developing BlackBerry support for the REDFLY devices by the end of 2009, with Android expected to be the next candidate after that. The REDFLY devices look like netbooks, but are actually intended to be used as interface devices with a user’s Windows Mobile smartphone.

7-inch and 8-inch models are currently available and provide more screen space for the smartphone, as well as having QWERTY keyboards and trackpads for easier text-entry and navigation. Until the BlackBerry and, later Android support arrives Celio have reduced prices of their existing range. The 7-inch REDFLY C7 is now priced at $199, while the 8-inch REDFLY C8N has been reduced to $249
