HTC Hero on Orange UK Site, Price Coming Tomorrow
The HTC Hero has finally landed on the Orange UK website but sports an unfortunate “Coming Soon” for those wishing to pin down a price, launch date or even Pre-Order. We saw the HTC Hero hit Amazon yesterday and there is little doubt that T-Mobile UK will announce the Hero as the G1 Touch in the near future. And some of the glorious [...]
MicroUSB Becomes European Standard In 2010
Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Motorola, LG, NEC, Qualcomm, RIM, Samsung and Apple have all signed an agreement to make MicroUSB the standard charging/connectivity technology in Europe. This is awesome news for Euroconsumers who no longer have to worry about buying/matching proprietary cables from various manufacturers and it is surely an environmental [...]
HTC Hero in wild, gets video unboxing
We’re not entirely sure where they acquired it – or perhaps who they had to bribe – but CoolSmartPhone have managed to find an HTC Hero for a few days of play. Their unboxing video inexplicably starts with a brief wildlife watch, and takes place one-handed in a car, but we’ll cut them some slack; after all, we all know [...]

Hot on the heels of the HTC Dream (aka T-Mobile G1) “Rosie” HTC Sense video demo comes this, HTC’s second Android device, the Magic, supposedly running the official firmware from the upcoming HTC Hero. Unlike the LeakDroid SuperHERO ROM, this Fatal1ty ROM is tipped as being almost unmodified. In fact, all they’ve [...]
Dell Android Device… Not A Phone
Last year Dell was looking into producing an iPod competitor. The sensational success of the iPod touch - mostly a music device but with the leverage of web access - hit a sweet spot in the market. Why not emulate a working model? Because the task proved too darn daunting and the iPod Touch was just too darn good. Mission aborted. The entire team [...]
Android Robot Charger For SciPhone
The vast majority of Android fans would take one look at the SciPhone G2 and think - “knockoff”. And you would be right in the worst way - the SciPhone isn’t really even an Open Source Android Phone and just a mobile OS that attempts to mimick a touch Android Phone. The phone’s operating system is listed as [...]
HTC Sense SuperHERO ROM gets video demo
If you fancy a taste of HTC Sense on your G1 or Magic, the regular “Rosie” ROM leaks have already provided a way. The LeakDroid project has been taking the Haykuro ROMs – which include the new HTC Sense UI – and developing builds for those with earlier devices. Android HDblog have been playing with the latest so-called [...]
Dell’s Android MID plans: still experimenting
According to the Wall Street Journal, Dell is sitting on a number of Android prototype devices that offer MID-style internet access. Described as being “slightly larger” than Apple’s iPod touch, the touchscreen prototypes are said to be ARM-based and, from the sound of things, very much in the experimental stage. Dell have [...]

If Bsquare have their way, it won’t just be the HTC Hero that gets Flash playback capabilities: all Android devices will. The company has announced its Flash browser plugin for ARM-based Android devices, such as the HTC Magic and T-Mobile G1, running Cupcake 1.5. Bsquare had announced back in March that they were working on a Flash plugin [...]
