HTC Desire To Be Part Of Droid Army?

on 10/24/2009, filed in Home > CellPhones

We’ve heard about the HTC Desire before, and that’s pretty cool, but it seems that the Desire might be just one phone in a whole line of Android-powered devices from Verizon. Based on the latest reports floating around the Internet, it seems the HTC Desire might be branded at the Droid Eris, and all the Android-powered devices will also adopt the “Droid” moniker, which does sound kind of fitting. So let’s sit back and hope that we’ll be showered with a bevy of “Droid phones”, shall we?

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.

Verizon: Verizon Communications Inc is a broadband and telecommunications company. It is mainly known for its Verizon Wireless division which is the largest wireless carrier in the United States, and one of the largest in the world. Verizon Wireless has traditionally used CDMA technology and was the first U.S carrier to deploy a 4G LTE network (Long Term Evolution). Learn more about U.S 4G Networks.
