As a previous HTC Hero user i was waiting for an Android 2.1 update for a very long time. It seems like the european HTC Hero will finally see the update now, but i couldn’t wait and got my hands on a HTC Desire in order to find out what HTC had in store with their new HTC Sense version. This article will point out all new features of the HTC Desire’s HTC Sense version compared to the previous... 

Shortly after Google presented the Nexus One (manufactured by HTC), the HTC Desire was also officially announced as another Android flagship device. Both smartphones might have very similar hardware specs, but looking at the software side it’s clear that we are talking about two different approaches. On the HTC Desire you’ll get HTC Sense, which builds on the regular Android 2.1 version,... 

There are a selected few Android apps which i really use on a daily basis. I’m planning to write reviews about those essential Android apps on a regular basis, and the first one i would like to present is called NewsRob. NewsRob is basically an RSS reader which will sync to all the RSS feeds you have added to your Google Reader account. This means that having a google account is mandatory, since... 

The Mobile World Congress 2010 closed its gates recently, and we got plenty of interesting stuff to see. Android gained a lot of speed due to many new device announcements, Nokia suprised most people with the decision to fuse their Meamo OS with Intels mobile OS, but Microsoft actually had the biggest news day with their new Windows Phone 7 Series overhaul. Let’s take a look at the most interesting... 

It has been more than six months now since i made the decision that it’s time to get an Android device, and switched from my last Windows Mobile device (XDA Orbit II) to the HTC Hero. Up to now my review series was primarily about the HTC Hero and the features Android as well as HTC Sense provides. After getting to know the Android platform much better during the last months, it’s time... 

Many Android smartphone owners are still eagerly awaiting their Android 2.0 updates, and for some carriers it’s uncertain if there will be ever any Android 2.0 update at all. So at the moment there are only two options to get Android 2.0: Either root your device and try your luck with some cooked Android 2.0 roms, or get a Motorola Milestone (Droid) which is the first device to get Android 2.0... 

Android is really picking up speed in the last quarter of 2009. We have seen some new Android devices during the whole year, but the Motorola Droid aka Milestone marked the arrival of a new Motorola flagship as well as the first Android 2.0 smartphone on the market. Therefore the public interest was immense: Everybody wanted to see whether Motorola could make a comeback, after many years of stagnation.... 

My Palm Pre hardware review made it clear, that while the Palm Pre is a nice device it’s not groundbreaking on the hardware-specs front. The real unique selling point is the new WebOS, which aims for a fingerfriendly and innovative touch interface while incorporating different web technologies to provide a seamless internet experience. This review will be about the WebOS functionality, innovations,... 

Not too long ago Palm was seen as a company which had a great past record, but no future. They just couldn’t keep the competitive edge, and therefore lost consumer trust and their marketshare year after year while other players like Nokia made big gains (now Nokia faces the exact same situation in regards to the smartphone competition from Apple and Google). Many people said that the secret new... 

I have written a lot about the HTC Hero hardware in the past parts of my review series, now it’s time to go into the details of HTCs custom made User Interface for Android called HTC Sense. When HTC announced the HTC Hero and HTC Sense, it made a huge impact on anybody who was hesitating to get an Android device because the user interface on devices like the G1 just looked too half-baked.
