HTC coming up with it’s own OS?

HTC has been experimenting with the O.S used in it’s devices from a long time, it was the first company to adopt Android O.S, it also came out with devices running Qualcomm’s BREW  and has been running Windows 6.5 from long back, recently they  have also introduced devices running Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7. Now we are hearing that HTC is looking to develop it’s own O.S, is this HTC’s reply to Google buying Motorola  or is HTC worried about future Android upgrades and it’s relation with Google? Reason could also be the recent lawsuit against HTC by Apple on HTC’s  Android devices.

Well nobody really knows what their motives are, but if HTC is looking to acquire any O.S and then I guess there are very few Operating Systems out there. Of course there is HP’s recently acquired WebOS for sale, maybe they could go for Android based O.Ses like MIUI. I would like to see HTC acquiring WebOS from HP and making devices based on that Operating System. In this way HTC does not have to fear about future relationships with Google, nor pay huge amount of money to Microsoft, and I am sure that WebOS is not having a huge price tag. Samsung already has Bada so it would not hurt HTC to come up with it’s own OS actually it would benefit the market, because all we see today is Android and iOS…..this is their best chance to bring something new, something innovative.

HTC just announced the Sensation XE

HTC just announced the Sensation XE - the new monster gathering everything the company has to offer in a single shell. You get a 4.3-inch nHD S-LCD display, a 1.5GHz dual-core processor, an 8 megapixel snapper, Beats Audio and the latest Android and Sense software.

The HTC Sensation XE is based on the same Qualcomm MSM8260 Snapdragon chipset as the HTC Sensation, but has its dual-core CPU clocked at the much more impressive 1.5GHz. There's no change to the available ram (768 MB) or the GPU (Adreno 220), though. You also get the same software package - Android 2.3 Gingerbread with HTC Sense 3.5 UI on top.

The HTC Sensation XE is the first smartphone to carry the Beats Audio logo in the Taiwanese company lineup. It will come with new Beats headset and some of the Beats audio magic under the hood, which should bring a dramatic improvement in the sonic experience.

Camera-wise the Sensation XE can offer 8 megapixel stills and 1080p video recording. There's also a dual LED flash and a front-facing VGA camera on board.

The HTC Sensation XE is pretty well set in terms of connectivity as well - quad-band GSM, dual-band 3G with HSPA support, Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth 3.0 and FM radio. You also get a 3.5mm audio jack, an MHL-enabled microUSB port and a microSD card slot.

Just have in mind that the Sensation XE isn't the rumored Runnymede. Runnymede is supposed to come with a single-core processor, 4.7" WVGA screen and different design, so HTC has another large-screen'd device in the works that should be unveiled soon. We are hoping to see that one on the HTC event next, scheduled for next week.

HTC Sensation XE is expected in Q4 this year, but we've got no information on its pricing just yet.

Samsung Galaxy S gets an official Android 2.3.5 update, unofficially - GSMArena.com news

Samsung Galaxy S gets an official Android 2.3.5 update, unofficially - GSMArena.com news:

The Samsung Galaxy S might be old news already, but it hasn't been forgotten by its maker just yet. A firmware update for the previous flagship of the Korean company, which brings its Android version number to 2.3.5 just surfaced online.

What we have here is a Samsung-written ROM, but it's not an official release so if you want to try it now, you’d be doing it at your own risk. Leaked ROMs like this one are usually relatively stable (or at least as far as unofficial releases go), but the flashing process itself involves some risk, not to mention that it voids your warranty.

Coming with the fancy I9000XXJVS name, the latest Galaxy S ROM has its build date set to September 8th and brings the SGS Android version to 2.3.5. Early adopters haven't reported major changes brought by the new ROM, but if you want, you may install it and take a look yourselves.

You will find the Google-translated instructions on how to get it up and running on your Galaxy S over at the source link below. Once again, only proceed if you know what you are doing.
