HTC at the MWC

HTC unveiled many new devices at the 2011 Mobile World Conference in Barcelona, Spain. So let’s dive in. 
Incredible S:
This new phone is the successor of the popular HTC Incredible on the Verizon network. It will sport a new 1.3 MP front facing camera and it will lose the trackball button on the front of the phone. The LED buttons on the front also rotate when the phone senses its position to be moved. The unique thing about the back of the phone is that all the cut outs will be lined with a black metal. This makes the phone look a lot better than its predecessor that had a red camera with look a bit corny. Another main change to the phone is the software because it will come with the new Sense and eventually the Gingerbread 2.3 with HTC Sense. 

Desire S:
Much like the Incredible S this is the successor of another phone known as the Desire for U.S. Cellular. They have revamped this phone by taking away all physical buttons on the front and adding LED ones that also rotate when the phone is shifted. They've also added a 1.3 MP front facing camera for video conferences and etc. They have also changed the color and made the phone black. This phone will also eventually receive Android Gingerbread 2.3 software, and just about everything else is the same. 

Wildfire S:
This small social network phone has been revamped that much from its predecessor the HTC Wildfire. The main differences include the removal of the optical track pad, and they also upgraded the processor to 600 MHz. They have also added Android 2.2 (froyo) and will not likely receive Gingerbread. 

HTC Flyer:
These phones show much promise to the smartphone world and many will probably think when will, "HTC come out with a device for the tablet world?"
They have and it's called the HTC Flyer. 
The brand new HTC tablet has many very good specs. This new 7 inch tablet has a 5MP back camera and a 1.3M front facing camera. The processor on the device is an amazing 1.5GHz and has 1GB RAM. This tablet can do just about anything and has Android Gingerbread 2.3 and with the new HTC Sense specially made for the Flyer. Unlike other tablets like the Samsung Galaxy tab and iPad this has a stylus. Everyone thought the stylus was extinct but HTC brought it back in a brilliant fashion. When browsing on the web or through any HTC application you can use the stylus to take notes on the screen and it takes a picture of your notes. If you aren’t on a HTC application then when using the stylus it simply takes a snapshot of the screen. I can easily see this device overpass the iPad and the Samsung Galaxy tab. That’s all I have now for HTC but once these devices come out I will post more about each individually.
