HTC Apple pays the same currency and the demand for the infringement of five of its patents
Two months after HTC sue Apple for violating 20 of its patents related to hardware and software on their mobile phones, HTC now will return the coin in the same way, with intended to stop the importation and sale of the iPhone, and iPod IPAD in the United States.
This time the number of patents is lower, staying in five, which the boys had Gizmodo access. They are somewhat complicated to interpret, so I summarize that are related to power management and bookmarks. Here is a gallery with them:

A week ago I had the chance to try the phone and is certainly one of the more ergonomic with Windows Mobile, apart from first with the version 6.5.3 (although I personally do not get excited that your mobile phone as elegant and well finished this system carries no possibility of upgrading to Windows 7 ).

HTC Iberia teaches evolution and presents Desire, Mini and Smart HD
HTC Iberia has invited us to discuss the current status of the company and learn about its three new launches in Spain: Desire, HD2 Mini and Smart. We had the first contact with the three during the Mobile World Congress, but this approach has been more intimate and productive.
HTC claims to be a young company (four years in Spain) that has grown by 19% since first quarter of 2009. The HTC brand is the seventh largest in the mobile phone right behind Blackberry. "HTC" is a name increasingly present in our life.
HTC is growing in a context that 30% of mobile devices are smartphones, and believe that in a few years that figure will rise to 80% incredibly. The main pillar of its strategy is the network of good friends who have: Microsoft, Google and Qualcomm.
A company you can spare praise for Sense (signature of identity that does not stop evolving) and Android (in I think the platform that sparked the incredible growth). This morning we have emphasized that Google predicts that the end of 2010, Android will handle 150 000 applications, where there are currently just over 30 thousand.
HTC Smart: small for the masses
(# ) We all agree that it is the younger brother of the presentation, but has a potential to the other two did not: it is designed to reach the vast majority of the market. And in my opinion has all the qualities to do so.
Is simple and intuitive, powerful in what ordinary people want (music, social networks, photos). I note two things from this terminal: $ 199 price and highly attractive design: rear rubbery and very compact. The platform used, Brew MP, seems sufficient thanks to the interface flavored Sense (Friend Stream, etc ).
HTC HD Mini: miniaturization uninteresting
(# )
The name says it all: HTC HD 2 is a miniature. But precisely because it has lost what the HTC HD 2 was so special: its huge screen. Personally I do not live up to its competition, it is the ideal phone for those who want Windows instead of Android Phone and have small pockets.
In what HTC was clear "not everyone wants to screen more than four inches," so I have decided to launch this little HD Mini whose interior design is a masterpiece. Compactadísimo and assembled to perfection, a great source of pride for the engineers at HTC. Have WVGA resolution and some graphic watermarks HD 2 have been eliminated, as the 3D presentation of photographs.
HTC Desire: That Obscure Object of Desire
(# )
The star of the show, and the phone longer than expected by many who saw the Nexus One was immediately relieved by their own manufacturers. In the words of HTC: "Desire is the representative of all that HTC can do now technologically ".
I can tell you that is thinner than expected after meeting on photos, and again the peculiar rubbery texture of the covers of HTC made the phone feel great in hand. And if not love at first sight, it will be a second as we see the power 1Ghz Snapdragon.
HTC incorporate video recording in high definition and Dolby Surround 5.1 at its terminals in 2011
Few of the new generation phones from HTC are to be submitted, so now present on the Taiwanese company began to turn on other routes, such as the rumor that plotting a new operating system, or the decision to engage clients in choosing the name for a future terminal.
The news today does not know if I catalog it as a rumor, because it is the very source HTC the presentation of its terminals Desire, Legend and Smart in South Africa. From there, we report that the phones in 2011 will have the ability to record 1080p, will incorporate a 5.1 surround sound system developed by Yamaha.
Not only put us happy teeth long, but ensure that the recording capabilities come in the second quarter of next year, while the sound system will be ready well before some terminals. Yamaha is supposedly the company behind this section gives me a good feeling.
Another detail that was dropped is the development of a tablet with Google operating system, and the truth is not spoken very clearly on this subject, and now I seem too relevant information from a simple presentation of terminals in a country that is not exactly a very important market. Anyway it interesting echo of this information, whether we have to take with tweezers.
If some of these innovations materialize, would put HTC as a direct competitor within a matter of technology with respect to Samsung, which specializes any progress in brand appearing on the market.

HTC EVO 4G, full presentation and demonstration of its ability
The impressions we got during the presentation of HTCEVO 4G at CTIA were quite positive, is that its hardware and connectivity options are a step ahead of the competition. In today's public has become such a submission in the form of videos, very interesting despite being logically in English.
Before describing the contents of the videos, I invite you to see the entry presentation of the terminal to answer any questions about it. Entering the field say that the videos come from the hand of the operator Sprint and with them we can know some of the main features of the HTC model in the form of demonstration.
In the first video We can check the operation of HQ YouTube player that directly recognizes the 4G network to serve the maximum quality. To make a comparison decide to use a Motorola Droid playing content from YouTube, of course the differences are obvious.
Also gives us a demonstration of the HDMI output of the device and takes the example of Prince movie trailer of Persia, this time in a file inside the phone. The truth is that big-screen playback is quite smooth and quality. It seems impossible that the source is a mobile phone.
In the second video we made a show of Google Goggles with reference to its two cameras, a leading 8-megapixel and a 1.3 megapixel front for video calls, and the ability to raise large amounts of information also thanks to the 4G network. But the interesting thing is to check the speed with which the results show, compared with a conventional connection.
The next thing to try is the web browser, as it would not be otherwise, the display of pages heavy is fast, even with Flash content. Besides the screen size, 4.3 inches, so is an ideal device for this work.
Another major points of the presentation, also got in the video is the possibility of sharing your data connection between 8 WiFi devices, what they call mobile WiFi hotspot.
It shows how from a phone connectivity is being served for a picture frame to download pictures in high resolution, a laptop that is playing what a person is recording the Qik service and a third device plays high-definition video via streaming.
The operator Sprint seems to be very sure of the possibilities of this arsenal of technology focused on a phone, ending the presentation with reference to the shortcomings of the iPhone and Motorola Droid. The truth is that the presentation results in little doubt, always bearing in mind that we have WiMAX connectivity is available.

Android 2.1 Eclair resists reaching HTC and Motorola Droid Tattoo
Tattoo HTC users a few days ago cheered the news confirming the upgrade of its terminal to Android 2.1 and Motorola Droid holders in the U.S. "did the wave," since should have started to receive from today, after having been delayed from earlier date. Everything today has been truncated.
HTC has ensured, through emails that you submitted your customer service, which now has in mind to update the HTC Android Tattoo 2.1. Motorola, on the other hand, was preparing last night to begin to launch the 2.1 via OTA, but found a bug last minute and have been further delayed.
I personally do not have much confidence in the news update HTC's Tattoo, because the filtering does not release completely made things clear in my opinion and it was very possible to happen what finally happened today. It is also possible that those in charge of customer service from HTC, who sent the e-mails, are not fully aware of if it really is working on an upgrade. For now everything is very confusing. Cross your fingers.
The theme of the Motorola Droid is certainly more controversial if possible. For now only applies of course to American users. Its European twin, the Motorola Milestone, should arrive this month and with Android 2.1 have. The American Droid, which however is already on sale for months, has had an impressive acceptance in the U.S., so the excitement generated by the delay of updating is important.
The height of the matter is that Motorola has with this kid some time delays, having canceled the update and a first time, and postponing it again Tuesday night just before starting the process altogether. For now do not know when it will resume the upgrade process, but stress that it will be soon. Below you can see a screenshot of his official website.
Hopefully, all these delays and mysteries by the manufacturers actually mean is devoting great attention to their finishing touches. The only one who has officially Android 2.1 on the moment Google is the Nexus One (which has even had more minor updates), and appeared almost three months ago no less. Will there soon to fragmentation? Let's hope so.

The HTC HD2 also has its own metal detector
The HD2 is aimed as much difference as to what the Windows Phone that has it all. Well, until you run out of gravy. Just your own furnace metal detector. "HD2 Metal Detector" react when something metal to come near Mobile.
The application is art work and a member of XDA, this vast source of creativity. It's in beta and still has many bugs and a polished interface, but does its job. To try it, simply open it with the phone on a flat surface will show a zero. Approaching some metal from the right, the needle will move. It's freeware.
Other platforms like iPhone and Android, and had their own metal detectors, and although I personally do not find real utility, are the most striking applications. They work with a digital compass that time now has been included in the phones more pointers. This calculates the deviation from magnetic north. Like any compass, if the metal about something, go crazy.

HTC Incredible, new and unexpected images specifications
From the Android Forums Phandroid of boys, we hear the latest and innovative HTC Incredible specifications also are accompanied by images of poor quality, but that make the news more interesting .
The specifications are somewhat strange, because we thought we were with another clone of Nexus One, and yet we see that has the version of Snapdragon capada to 768MHz (QSD8650) that we saw in the liquid steel . If it seems that the RAM is equal to 512MB.
Following with the camera, in this case we have a 8-megapixel sensor, I think is the highest amount found Android in a terminal together with the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10. One detail that does not concern us much in our market is the fact that Verizon logo appears at the top rear of the unit.
To continue the comparison, the dimensions are very similar to that of a Nexus One, somewhat narrower and shorter, concrete measures are 117.5 × 58.5 × 11.9 mm.
The operating system of this model who goes running through the forums is Android 2.1, accompanied Sense HTC interface, visible through much they have decided to remove the screens. Few details can not give you that you see in the pictures, such as inside color, style HD Mini HTC.
Other specifications known:

Tattoo HTC, Android 2.1 closer
One of the best news I could receive Tattoo HTC users is that their terminal was upgraded to Android 2.1, first by the possibilities it brings the latest version, and second because it would put in a place of importance to those terminals that were created as affordable Android, and therefore may seem less important.
We are still waiting for HTC upgrades Magic and Hero, and now the smallest in the house rings with force from France for the update, more specifically inform you that the Taiwanese company has answered children of FrAndroid with the following email:
"Kindly note that now we understand that a phone running Android OS 2.1 is available that you are excited to get an update for your Tattoo. We are still working hard to building Sense for this new version but we expect to have the upgrade finished and ready to go soon. Please understand that it takes time to customize any Android version To ensure you have the Sense provides intuitive experience, and we hope you can be patient for just a little while longer ."
in all, and trusting the source, HTC Tattoo Android will upgrade to 2.1, are currently adapting the interface to the small terminal Sense, an issue complicated by the resistive screen and smaller, but it seems it will come to fruition. We also have good prospects in this regard, as we saw in some demonstrations.
As I had occasion to report on the analysis I made of the Tattoo, was favored in having their time in Android 1.6, when still out market phones like Backflip with version 1.5. An update like the one discussed in the news would give a very important life to a relatively affordable terminal, being able to use new applications such as Gesture Search, Google Earth ?.

HTC Incredible, can be seen again in three images
As the Guadiana, comes and goes, spent a few days before the Mobile World Congress giving hype, and you almost forget about it until today, which is the HTC Incredible lets see in three new images.
There is no doubt that despite the poor quality of photos and video that we saw at the time, this new HTC debuts a new brand image, at least its design has different lines to what we are used to the Taiwanese company.
The back of your attention, even without the lid on presents the different levels we saw in the first pictures. See also incorporates details like red buttons and links that give a more casual at the phone, and arguably that particular color to accompany the U.S. operator Verizon.
Moreover it is strange that talking takes so long that Nexus One will appear on Verizon in a few weeks, and do so at the time a phone so similar, and it is assumed that both share the same controversy AMOLED display 3.7 inches, and the circuitry Qualcomm 1GHz Snapdragon.
Other specifications are expected to share the version 2.1 of the Android operating system, but in this case with the HTC interface Sense we have had occasion to meet with HTC Legend and Desire. As a 3 mobile will actually appear on the market, and possibly sharing operators on both sides of the Atlantic, a detail really weird.
A fourth member may enter the scene, but only in the U.S., and is that it also is awaiting the HTC Supersonic presentation, a phone at the same level characteristics, but with the unique feature of WiMAX connectivity network operator Verizon. Conclusion, HTC too in the same place.
