HTC Releasing Another 20 Google Phones – Leak

by Jay Garrett on December 6, 2009

htc-hd2It seems that HTC are refusing to rest on their laurels even though the HTC HD2 (pictured) seems to be pretty impressive.

Word has slipped out that the Taiwanese mobile manufacturer could be planning to launch 20 more Android-powered handsets.

The names of the new devices appear to have been written inside a thread from the recently spotted Android 2.1 ROM.

Some have surfaced before but there’s a load of new ones. Check out the list:

Hero and the Dream (G1) we know about but then there’s Bahamas, Bravo, DesireC, Dragon, Dream, Espresso, Halo, HeroCT, HeroC, Hero, Huangshan, Incredible, Legend, Liberty, Memphis, Paradise, PassionC, Passion, Sapphire and Supersonic.

Chances are there’s a few in the list that wont be making it to Europe or the States carrying that particular name – yes, I’m taking bout you HTC Huangshan!

I’m also uncertain what the ‘C’ and ‘CT’s could be about – any ideas folks?

Any way you cut this it does look that HTC is serious about its presence with the Google Mobile OS.

Mewbox – On the Go Music Downloads on Android

by Jay Garrett on December 4, 2009

mewboxMewbox – not a new dry cat food or a mash-up of Robbie Williams’ failed 2006 album and a Danish alternative rock band.

Mewbox is actually a new music download service that originally launched with the Archos 5 Android slate but has now gone live for all Android phones.

This means that whether you’re going to be rocking the new Milestone in a few days or have a loving relationship with the T-Mobile G1 – you’ll be able to download choonz to keep whilst you’re out-and-about for the very first time.

The Mewbox site looks pretty straightforward and not in the least confusing (more than I can say for the Myspace Music site).

There’s also a blog which reports news about the software as well as top track picks.

If you haven’t got an Android powered handheld it may be still worth your while to pootle across to Mewbox as it’s offering a free download (89MB) of some of its favourite songs to keep for anyone!

Now, if you’ve an iPhone you’ll think that this has always been the way as we’ve been able to download from iTunes from day 1. Even the Crackberry has been able to get music on the move thanks to 7digital.

Talking ’bout 7digital – this is who’s behind Mewbox. This should mean that Android users will have access to around 4 million tracks.

Mewbox is out now for any European Android owners, but it’s not on the Android Market – all you have to do is download from the Mewbox homepage here.

Thumbnail image for T-Mobile Bigfoot Spotted – G1 v.2 Google Phone

When the Cupcake update for the G1 Googlephone was announced T-mobile also kinda mentioned a new Android handset without giving any real details. Now, I reckon that it’s safe to assume that the particular beast in question is the T-Mobile G1 Bigfoot, discovered in leaked documents by TmoToday. The phone is also going under the title of G1 v.2 [...]
