HTC Fiesta will be Android-powered

HTC’s upcoming Fiesta smartphone will be Android-powered after digging up information on HTC’s ’09 roadmap, and it will most probably be available from the AT&T network in due time, making at one of the first Android-powered phones from that mobile carrier. Of course, there are certain quarters out there who would have preferred to see the HTC Hero make a debut instead of the Fiesta, but that’s another can of worms altogether.

Android: Android is the mobile operating system from Google. The software was originally built by a company called Android Inc, that was purchased by Google in 2005. From its modest debuts, Android has become a powerhouse that powers not only smartphones and tablet, but a host of other less high-profile devices and gadgets. Although Android is not a community-driven project, Google does release the source code as open-source under the Apache license. You can follow Ubergizmo on Android with Google Currents.

HTC: High Tech Computer Corporation (HTC) is a Taiwanese manufacturer of smartphones and tablets. The company started as an ODM (Original Design Manufacturer) that was building devices for others, but went on making HTC-branded smartphones based mostly on Microsoft's Windows operating system (OS) for mobile. In 2009, it began to shift its core focus away from Windows mobile devices to Android-based ones. In 2010 the company went back to the Windows Phone eco-system.
