HTC Wildfire Powered By Android 2.1

on 05/17/2010, filed in Home > CellPhones

HTC has introduced a new model to its entry-level smartphone lineup, the HTC Wildfire. One of the nicer improvements of the HTC Wildfire is its use of a capacitive touchscreen instead of the resistive touchscreens that are common on entry-level phones. The HTC Wildfire should be shipping to Asia and Europe sometime this summer, and should be economically priced. The downside is that there hasn’t been any mention of a North American release just yet, but hopefully it will eventually make its way over here. Specifications include:

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.
