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,... 

One of the main reasons for me try out Android, after being an Windows Mobile user for many years, was HTC Sense. I never really liked the pure Android experience, as it was a little bit too bland for me. Only after HTC presented the HTC Hero as their Android flagship last year, and introduced HTC Sense, i could see Android becoming a real contender. In my opinion it was the first time that the Android... 

The first time i was completely overwhelmed by a smartphone was when i got an MDA Compact (aka HTC Magician) many years ago. Back then the HTC Magician represented the high-end mobile experience for tech-savvy users, as you had a big Windows Mobile app catalogue, great hardware specs and a huge amount of customizing possibilities starting from today plugins to registry tweaks. To me no other device... 

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... 

There are many Twitter clients to be found on the Android marketplace. One of my favourite one is called Swift. Some Twitter apps out there may have a better looking UI, but none of them is as fast as Swift. Let’s take a quick look at the Swift UI, starting with the timeline view. This is the view you’ll see after you have set up the Twitter account. On the top you have your own profile... 

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... 

Hi everyone, as some of you already noticed i changed the layout of my Blog. Hopefully you’ll like the new theme, as i was aiming for better readability and wanted to archieve more of a magazine look. I also think that the thumbnails for each article really help to attract more attention too. Furthermore i decided to provide full RSS feeds of all my articles. So all RSS users will now comfortably... 

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...
