Once you have the HTC Hero in your hands, you can say at first sight this is the first 100% HTC ANDROID project, as one of HTC members said.

In fact it’s the first device delivered by HTC not including the “with Google” logo on his back, what makes the Hero more independent from Google services than was Magic or G1.

GUI

With the introduction of HTC Sense, HTC gives Android their own look and feel, very close to the look and feel of their Windows Mobile devices, but integrating much better with the most basic applications of Android such as calendar, dialer, etc…

HTC Sense makes the device look more elegant than original Android and includes some functional improvements as well. For example, the number of desktop tabs. Pure Android devices as G1 or Magic have only three tabs for placing all your shortcuts and widgets, what becomes insufficient after the first weeks (well… at least for me), but HTC Sense provides up to 7 tabs for placing your favorite shorcuts and widgets.

And there is a lot of widgets to put on! It’s specially remarkable the great widget collection included in HTC Sense. Quantity and quality! Stocks, clocks, calendar, twitter, and more… This is one of my favorite things in HTC Hero.

In few words, we can say that SevenClick is a European mobile applications company with an worldwide scope. It has been so since the very first day.

But is hard to get rid of our developed-country point of view that makes mobile applications as a new feature. Very clever, very fun, very interesting… but just a fancy new feature, not essential in any case.

Not many people understands mobile applications as a new way that can change their life. For sure, our life is already comfortable enough, so mobility will not dramatically improve our daily routine.

But in developing and underdeveloped countries mobile is just another story. It’s a matter of daily life. Specially in rural areas, where mobile networks are the best link with the rest of the world for many villages. Building a road or a motorway is much more expensive than building a cellular network.

In this situation, where no other infrastructure exists, mobile phone can be your bank, your shop, your encyclopedia, your newspaper, …

Google has noticed and has released “Google SMS in Uganda, a suite of applications which provides access, via SMS, to information on a diverse number of topics including health and agriculture tips, news, local weather, sports, and more“. Don’t miss the Google Official Mobile Blog  post.

We wish this innitiative to reach great success and to spread, making life easier for many people.
