HTC Puccini, the company's first 10-inch tablet, uncovered

Filed in: TabletsHTC

In addition to exclusively revealing the first photos of AT&T’s Samsung Galaxy S II earlier this morning, we also got our hands on the first solid images of HTC’s upcoming 10-inch slate, codenamed the HTC Puccini. While confirmed specifications are light for the time being, the tablet will feature an 8-megapixel camera with what appears to be a dual-LED flash, as well as stereo speakers and a microphone. Also, as we can clearly see in the image above, the Puccini will support stylus input just like the HTC Flyer. Earlier reports suggest the tablet will include a 1.5GHz processor, Android Honeycomb, HTC Sense and a 4G LTE radio. There’s still no word on a launch date, but let’s hope it’s soon...

HTC Omega specs leaked: 3.8-inch screen, 1.5GHz CPU, 8 MP camera, Windows Phone Mango

HTC Omega specs leaked: 3.8-inch screen, 1.5GHz CPU, 8 MP camera, Windows Phone Mango

Posted on Jul 27, 2011 by MG1

Another HTC’s Windows Phone device has been leaked. The new one, codenamed Omega, looks like a mass-market product that doesn’t rock a super-large 4.3-inch screen — rather it will reportedly sport a 3.8-inch WVGA display, making it easy to carry around in one’s pocket. That said, this could easily be the Mango-running successor of the HTC Mozart.
As for the rest of the specs, according to Gadgetian – the HTC Omega will also come with a 1.5GHz single-core Qualcomm processor, 8-megapixel camera with 720p HD video recording and LED flash, 16GB of built-in storage, 512MB of RAM, HSPA and Wi-Fi connectivity, GPS and a 3.5mm headset jack. We’ve no idea when HTC will officially launch the Omega, bu...

HTC Salsa ditches its Facebook button for Weibo in China

HTC Salsa ditches its Facebook button for Weibo in China

Posted on Jul 26, 2011 by MG1

When is a "Facebook phone" not a Facebook phone? When it's in China. While this handset may look like an HTC Salsa at first glace, if you look a little closer you'll notice that the familiar little blue button has been replaced with one for Sina's Weibo social networking service. Lest you think this is just another KIRF, however, you can rest assured this is indeed the real deal, and a fairly big deal for HTC, considering that Weibo has around 150 million total users, and 50 million active monthly users. As for the phone itself, it's remained mostly unchanged otherwise, with it packing an 800MHz processor and a 3.4-inch 480 x 320 display, along with Android 2.3.3 with Sense 2.1 on top. Head ...

Posted on Jul 26, 2011 by MG1

Filed in: HTC

HTC is out a top executive with the departure of chief innovation officer Horace Luke. The exec has been gone for some time now, having exited at the end of April. The Taiwanese phone maker formally announced the news this week, citing "personal reasons" as the motivation behind the CIO's exit. HTC had nothing but kind words for Luke, who had been with the company since 2006, stating that he had "nurtured a culture of innovation." The company's vice president of design, Scott Croyle, has stepped into the Luke's vacant position.

All AT&T Android Phones Released In 2011 Will Get Gingerbread

All AT&T Android Phones Released In 2011 Will Get Gingerbread

Posted on Jul 26, 2011 by MG1

The HTC Status might be a sort-of-weird, kind-of-gimmicky (with its dedicated Facebook button and all) little piece of kit, but it’s got at least one thing going for it: it’s the only phone on AT&T running on the latest (phone-friendly) version of Android: v2.3, or “Gingerbread”. Not for long, though.
AT&T has just confirmed that all of the Android phones they released in 2011 will be getting the Gingerbread upgrade treatment.
The phones AT&T confirmed:
HTC Inspire 4G
LG Phoenix
Motorola Atrix 4G
Pantech Crossover
Samsung Captivate
Samsung Infuse 4G
That sure looks like all of AT&T’s 2011 Android line up so far, to me. Anyone spot anything that’s missing?
For those of you whose pre-2011 AT&T...

Still unannounced HTC Ruby caught on Flickr

Still unannounced HTC Ruby caught on Flickr

Posted on Jul 25, 2011 by MG1

We’re pretty confident HTC (and other handset makers for that matter) are constantly working on new products. From time to time we manage to get some leaked image before the company officially announces the device and that’s when we turn to you, our dear readers, to share any new information we have.
That said, today we spotted a new HTC phone, codenamed Ruby, on Flickr. We don’t have all the details, quite the contrary, except the reflections of the handset on the HTC Flyer’s screen. From that “not too revealing” (to say the least) photo we see that Ruby will come with a 3.5mm headset jack, camera with dual-LED flash and… that’s about it. We’ve no idea whether it will run Android or Windows...

HTC Wildfire S officially coming to T-Mobile next month

Posted on Jul 25, 2011 by MG1

Okay, it may not come as that great of a surprise since rumors about it have been going back and forth for the past couple of days, but T-Mobile has now officially announced that it will start offering the HTC Wildfire S. Scheduled to hit the carrier's shelves on August 3, the entry-level Android smartphone will be available for $80 after a $50 mail-in rebate as long as you don't mind committing to a 2-year Classic service plan.
The HTC Wildfire S is aimed at those of you looking for a decent Android smartphone that will not break the bank. It packs a modest 600MHz processor backed up by 512MB of both RAM and ROM, which will definitely not shatter any Quadrant high scores, but should suffic...

HTC Desire HD gets a small update (2.50.405.2) that brings "Wi-Fi performance improvements"

HTC Desire HD gets a small update (2.50.405.2) that brings "Wi-Fi performance improvements"

Posted on Jul 21, 2011 by MG1

HTC Desire HD is getting a small firmware update as we speak. This “after Gingerbread” firmware changes are said to bring “Wi-Fi performance improvements” though we guess some other things under the hood will be impacted as well. After all, 19.8MB is kinda big download for such a minor improvement (at least the way I see it). Either way, we’ve no idea what’s all included here, but we do suggest you to “push the button” nevertheless and bring your Desire HD’s firmware version to 2.50.405.2. It’s a good practice to have the latest software running on your phone and I don’t see why this should be an exception.
Still this (because it’s a small update) doesn’t mean you shouldn’t backup first. Som...

HTC Wildfire S heads to T-Mobile, won't break your budget

Posted on Jul 21, 2011 by MG1

Were you disappointed to see the HTC Wildfire S pass through the FCC sporting AT&T-friendly bands, but no apparent magenta love? Well, chin up ol' chum, because a leaked spec sheet over on TmoNews shows T-Mobile's branding all over the budget-friendly phone. The 3.2-inch Android handset will ship with Gingerbread out of the box and, of course, that Sense 2.1 overlay you either love, or love to hate. There's also a 5 megapixel rear-facing camera, WiFi, Bluetooth 3.0 and 512MB of on-board memory. And pay no attention to the apparent PR slip-up above, while there is a UMTS 850 / 1900 variant, we have the FCC filing to prove this little guy's packing AWS 1700 / 2100 bands. Expect to see Tmo's ga...

HTC Flyer 2 to rock 3D screen, dual cameras?

HTC Flyer 2 to rock 3D screen, dual cameras?

Posted on Jul 21, 2011 by MG1

Filed in: TabletsHTC

File this under rumors, but it’s pretty likely what you see above is part of the rear shell of the upcoming HTC Flyer 2. Of course we have no other information except the image above to prove that claim, but it kinda makes sense HTC would want to make the next Flyer much better than what we have today. And besides, the Taiwanese company is already offering a 3D-enabled smartphone, Evo 3D, so they have the technology needed to make this happen. Check out the original Flyer‘s back for comparison.

Filed in: TabletsHTC

HTC's upcoming 10-inch tablet has surfaced once again and from the looks of things it could be ready for AT&T's network soon. The successor to the company's first tablet, the HTC Flyer, has just passed FCC certification in the U.S. and with that we now have confirmation that it will support LTE connectivity on the AWS 4 and 17 bands -- which AT&T's upcoming 4G network is expected to use -- as well as 3G on the GSM 850/1900MHz and WCDMA 850/1900MHz bands.
Unfortunately no other hardware details were unveiled in the filing, but previous leaks have pointed to a 10-inch screen with a pixel resolution of 1280x720, a 1.5 GHz Snapdragon MSM8660 dual-core processor, and Android Honeycomb with HTC's ...

Eric Schmidt: Apple is suing us instead of innovating, will make sure HTC doesn't lose patent suit

Eric Schmidt: Apple is suing us instead of innovating, will make sure HTC doesn't lose patent suit

Posted on Jul 20, 2011 by MG1

Filed in: AppleHTC

During Google’s Mobile Revolution conference in Tokyo, Google’s executive chairman Eric Schmidt reaffirmed his company’s support of HTC and its other Android partners, ZDNET Asia reported on Tuesday. HTC is currently in the middle of multiple patent battles with Apple, and the U.S. International Trade Commission ruled on Friday that the Taiwanese firm was in violation of two of Apple’s patents. When asked whether Google would help HTC pay any fees associated with a guilty ruling, should the company’s appeal be shot down, Schmidt replied “We will make sure they don’t lose, then.” Schmidt attributed the lawsuits to Android’s massive global growth and restated that there are now more than 550,0...
