T-Mobile updates myTouch 3G, adds headphone jack
Despite only being on the market for a few months, the T-Mobile myTouch 3G seems a bit outdated compared to other Android smartphones. Today, early adopters of the T-Mobile myTouch 3G are feeling yet another sting as T-Mobile updates the hardware of the phone. The improvements don’t bring the phone to the level of the more »
HTC declare themselves Quietly Brilliant, launch You advertising campaign

HTC looking to release “more than three” Android phones
Since the release of the G1 there’s an almost deafening silence in terms of other Android phones set to reach market. There’s been the HTC Magic, or G2, or whatever you wish to call it, but that’s been about it. Plenty of companies have promised phones by the end of 2009, leaving us hopeful they make due on those promises. It seems that the whispers of coming phones marches on, with more promises without devices to be shown.
HTC, the Taiwan-based creator of the G1 (or HTC Dream) and the HTC Magic has promised to release “more than three” Android phones by the end of 2009. These phones are worldwide, so there’s no promise we’ll see three or more phones here in the states. Some might be specific to certain territories, such as the Magic is at the moment. There’s a good chance that some might be exclusive to China, as HTC hopes to expand its business in the country.
Vodafone and HTC make Magic together
It seems as though HTC has been busy. Two phones released just yesterday, the Diamond2 and the Touch Pro2. Now, they’ve made magic.
At the GSMA 2009 show in Barcelona, HTC pulled a new rabbit out of their hat. Well, you might recognize the HTC Android phone as the G2, but the new pulled-out-of-a-hat-with-doves name for this is the Magic. The HTC Magic is exclusive to Vodafone in Europe right now, and there isn’t too much information leaking from the magician’s hat about it just yet.
What we do know about it is that it will feature HSPA, HSDPA/WCDMA (900/2100MHz), WiFi, and have GPS connectivity. There is also going to be a 3.2 mega-pixel camera (no flash), and what will make many happy — Cupcake will also be there. The Magic has a 3.2 inch HVGA touch screen along with a trackball navigator. However, kind of odd, it doesn’t have a slide out-QWERTY keyboard like the T-Mobile G1. With it, you’ll also have several email options (of course Gmail is one of them), as well as POP3 and IMAP accounts. Customers will be able to access the Android Market and download apps and games for their smartphone.
