HTC has just given us another reason to get quite excited about its lovely looking HTC Flyer Android tablet – it will get an upgrade to the “Honeycomb” Android 3.0 version of the OS at some point in the future.
The wording of the announcement, made on HTC’s twitter account, is a little odd, though – it says it’ll be offering an Android 3.0 upgrade for the Flyer “when it’s made available”…
…which sounds like a promise with a built-in get out clause to us. Link via Engadget.
The Panasonic Eluga marks the company’s return to the European mobile phone scene years after several years of absence, and it’s come back to us with a moderately high-spec Android model that features a rather stylish, slim case. The Eluga’s powered by a 1GHz dual-core Texas Instruments OMAP processor, which is running a 4.3″ OLED [...]
The HTC One V is HTC’s third entry in its high-profile new HTC One range, offering a smaller 3.7″ display running on a single-core 1GHz processor. It is is very much the “affordable” option in HTC’s newest Android series, but it still arrives running the same HTC Sense 4 interface we saw in the excellent [...]
HTC’s 4.3″ dual-core Android model, powered by Qualcomm’s all-new S4 processor. It’s smaller than the enormous One X, but is it as nice as its bigger brother? (SPOILER: Yes it is).
HTC is very much B-A-C-K at the top of the Android world with this, its quad-core flagship for 2012. Great camera, huge 4.7″ display and Android 4.0 running beautifully well.
Some camera samples taken with HTC’s quad-core Android monster.
Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession?
We’ve spent most of the last week captivated by the staggeringly sharp screen of the new Sony Xperia S, while putting together what will hopefully be something resembling a review for you all to read very shortly. In the meantime, to be getting on with, here are a few sample photos and videos, taken using [...]
LG’s updated Prada phone comes with an absolutely crazy black & white theme, but is it just for fashionable suit wearers who want to make themselves look a bit more interesting?
£30? For a phone case? It had better be good.
Samsung’s official Galaxy Nexus case. Costs a lot. Has a glittery little logo.
Fresh from reviewing the cheap and cheerful FlexiShield case for the Galaxy Nexus, we’re back with another protective offering from industry veteran Case-Mate. Although this particular product retails for around the same price as FlexiShield’s TPU option, it’s quite a different proposition. Review submitted by extremely patient retro gaming advisor Damo. As the name suggests, [...]
Seeing as we’ve just reviewed the brand spanking new Galaxy Nexus, we’re in the mood for some accessorising – and we don’t mean earnings and handbags. To that end, we’ll be covering a few Galaxy Nexus-themed items over the next few weeks, starting with the FlexiShield Case. Review submitted by reader, writer, gamer and occasional [...]

/ April 2, 2011In other words, HTC did not abide by the OHA rules and used Android phone OS for a tablet even though Google told them not to and now they are trying to point the finger at Google because they don’t have access to Honeycomb. . . . is that about right?
Well, I guess HTC can just wait then. Another reason to be avoiding these tablets that don’t have Honeycomb on them.
If you are going to use a free OS the least you could do is follow the guidelines, HTC.

/ April 3, 2011Bollocks, HTC. If Samsung can crank out 2 3.0 tablets by the same time you get one out, then your argument is void. Maybe if you spent less time arsing about with Sense and actually developing on the platform Google have specified is for tablets, you wouldn’t have to make silly excuses like this.

/ June 22, 2011Yet Samsung is so behind the game with their first galaxy s phones just receiving 2.2 about 2 months ago. I agree that any newly launched tablet should be running 3.0 but as an evo 4G owner I’ve received two updates in the last year to my evo 4G.
