Below is a chronological listing of the video footage I took at the HTC Hero launch event. Unfortunately the battery on my main camera went kaput so I was forced to use my back-up… a Flip non-HD. Scroll down and see what videos interest you most! Pre-Event Video Loop This is the video that was [...]

While I’m waiting for some HTC Hero Videos to upload to YouTube I thought I’d share a moment of complete randomness. One thing I’ve learned about London during my time here is that the city is very old and rich in history. But apprently nowhere during that history did they invent or figure out proper [...]

I took a bunch of pictures of the HTC Hero phone and also of entering the event and some of the presentation. I’ve just dumped them all below for you to peek at until I can do a more thorough overview:

Hardware specs are looking mighty impressive on the HTC Hero. A few of the ones that caught my eye: Memory ROM: 512 MB RAM: 288 MB Camera 5.0 megapixel color camera with auto focus Battery Rechargeable Lithium-ion battery Capacity: 1350 mAh Talk time: Up to 420 minutes for WCDMA Up to 470 minutes for GSM [...]

I just can’t stop being impressed by this phone. HTC just uploaded a video demonstrating the awesomeness to captivate you. Lots of widget use, Twitter, Calendar, Messaging and Stock Tickers. One has to wonder just who can type so fast on the portrait keyboard, but I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt on this [...]

I’ve got a meeting with HTC Executives coming up here shortly and I’ll likely have another opportunity later this evening to speak with the folks at HTC and Google. I’ve got some questions already lined up but what do YOU want to know about the HTC Hero and HTC Sense? I’ll try to get as [...]

About six months ago the rumors of an Agora made Android phone began swirling the internet, filling our nose with the sweet, sweet scent of of fatty touch screens and full, portrait, keyboards. Then about two weeks later, it died; I mean, went to live upstate with a nice family on a big farm where [...]

Adrian Ludwig demonstrates Flash on the HTC Hero, browsing websites that have Flash content; and I have to say, it looks good. He starts at Yahoo! Movies, and loads up a trailer for Transformers 2. A good call with anything involving Megan Fox(y). He demonstrates that double tapping on a video brings it up into [...]

HTC has just announced the HTC Hero – the first of a line of products that will have HTC Sense – a customized User Interface for Android that the company claims will take the platform to new heights. And I don’t doubt it. While most of our talk on Phandroid about carrier/manufacturer customization of Android [...]

REFRESH – updates appear at top (times are in London PM!) Live Blog is over but we’ll have TONS of HTC Hero and HTC Sense coverage to follow! 1:49 – So the site had too much traffic right as I wanted to announce that it would launch in Europe in July and Asia at the [...]

Not two minutes had passed after posting that Portugal was infected with Android Fever, did I read from HTC that the HTC Magic is now heading to India via Bharti. If it wasn’t official before, I would say, with unbridled conviction, it is now: Android Fever is something to which a shot of penicillin cannot [...]

Add another notch to the list of countries that have been infected with Android Fever. Portugal’s own TMN (Telecomunicações Móveis Nacionais) has just announced that they will be carrying the HTC Magic. Looks like it will be coming with all standard features expected from an Android device. Although my Portuguese translation could very well be [...]

Qik, well known for turning your phone from a boring camera into a web cam on the fly has just been brought over to Android. I’ve seen many-a-request to turn the G1 and other Android phones into a web cam, and now those requests have been heeded. Because Android isn’t the first operating system to [...]

A few weeks back we reported that Flash was heading into our corner of the world by the end of ’09?. And now it seems like the "?" just got dropped; or at the very least it was dropped for the mobile developers. Users can expect, well let’s just say hope for now, to be [...]

We’ve been a tad bit slow/late on the news the past 24 hours and that is because we’ve been in-transit from the US to UK and we’re now safely touched down in London, England with plenty of jetlag to go around. We’re a few days early for the Big HTC Announcement and you can be [...]

Ever since the HTC Magic hit Europe we’ve been waiting for T-Mobile USA to get the goods. After making a quick appearance as the Google Ion at Google I/O, the T-Mobile myTouch 3G is finally official for T-Mobile USA! You can check out the official site at http://T-MobileMyTouch.com: So what is different about the MyTouch [...]

We’ve got a bunch of incrementally new info on the T-Mobile MyTouch 3G and want to keep you folks updated… so here it is: First of all, one rumor is that the MyTouch 3G will NOT be announced tomorrow as has been widely speculated. Instead, T-Mobile will announce the Motorola Morrison. I’m not so sure [...]

Most of you know that the Motorola Morrison is one of many rumored Android Phones of which we know very little. Heck, we can’t even be sure this thing exists. After initially seeing the device in a leaked T-Mobile roadmap we’re just now getting a glimpse at a decent sized unblurry picture that provides some [...]

You may not be familiar with Meizu – they are the Chinese manufacturer behind the upcoming Meizu M8 mobile phone that, while not likely to have huge circulation, has its fair share of fanboys and enthusiasts. One Meizu fan took to the company’s official bulletinboard requesting (translated) the company consider Android as a platform for [...]

We’ve seen this CONCEPT before but this will be the first application of its kind to find its way on the Android Market… or any Market/Store/Catalog/World as far as I know. A company called SPRXmobile has developed a product called Layar that uses your phone’s camera as a viewfinder, showing you information real-time about the [...]
