[MWC] After being revealed one year ago to the world at the very same event, HTC has decided to show off the successor to the HTC Desire. Called the HTC Desire S, it takes cues from the HTC Legend’s design and is sculpted out of a single block of aluminum. It packs Qualcomm’s new 1GHz Snapdragon MSM8255 processor to ensure your phone speeds along, and has a 3.7″ (800 x 480) touchscreen display. It packs a 5 megapixel rear camera and a 1.3 megapixel front facing camera. The good news is that it will ship with Gingerbread (Android 2.4), so you won’t have to worry about not having the latest version of the operating system (at least for awhile) when it launches in Q2 this year.

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.
