Open source mobile platforms are taking a solid cue from the Android operating system. And with smart phones like the HTC Desire placing a new benchmark for the technology, it is hard to deny the fact that other handsets being released are simply following the example that has been set.
Understanding what makes this smart phone so special is not just looking at one simple facet of the device as both the hardware and software are equally impressive.
Android Operating System
On the software side, the Android operating system delivers a mobile phone experience unlike any other. It allows for the easy access of a wide variety of Google’s web features such as email, Maps, augmented reality, search, as well as access to file hosting and media sharing sites such as Picasa and YouTube.
The Android Market also provides users with a wide array of apps to choose from –apps that would allow users to customize battery usage, better screen brightness controls along with other practical add-ons.
Even better is the fact that the HTC Desire is upgradeable to the Android 2.2 Froyo. This version of the Android platform provides better performance thanks to better resource management capabilities (Google boasts of an outstanding speed boost of up to three times faster than version 2.1 Éclair). Naturally, the improved performance makes this the version of choice and you can expect future handsets like the HTC Desire HD to come pre-loaded with it.
Web browsing using the Android WebKit is also a lot faster with the new Java API.
Specs and More
In terms of hardware features, the HTC Desire is the first mobile phone to place the Android operating system on a Snapdragon CPU aside from the Google Nexus One. Speaking of the Google branded Android, the two phones are so similar to each other that choosing one over the other is a simple matter of wanting to have the Sense user interface or not.
While some Android purists might not like having a custom UI, HTC’s newly launched Sense UI features not only makes the custom interface look better, it also provides plenty of new security features not originally available in the OS such as remote device access.
