like anyone cared?

most HTC product do not have secondary webcam.

Finally, the official update from HTC. Read more at http://bit.ly/8TvSr

I heard they fix the lagging issue. Oh my sweet. Downloaded those required files to update and root the Hero. Now waiting for the phone to arrive here :-)

i thoguht the lagging issue is due to the hardware problem?

Both Ptolemy and Aristotle thought that the Earth is the center of the universe.

They were wrong :-(

Hey Levi, are you the one in Starhub previously?

Well i am waiting for the Hero too, or maybe the Magic, can't decide much. But after looking at the video i guess moving onto a virtual keyboard requires confident. Haih.

Currently using the G1 with a modded rom. I was using Palm before this and after that, Windows just doesn't suit me. Android was a big of an enjoyment to use.

@itanium : Hmm, the acer one is using snapdragon?

I see that it lacks a scroller, or does it have a special touch base sensor?

In regards to apps, owning a itouch, i agree that iphone apps are vastly rich in numbers, but if i don't jail break i can't get the app easily.

The most thing i enjoy about android is Functional app for free. =(
Anyway after having widgets and notifications functions, i don't think i can stand an iphone.

is it really retail price by SIS rm2399?? when the confirm release date? now only know mid sept..

i saw one seller selling ap set warranty 15 month for rm2298...i almost get it, but if SIS set only rm2399 then i'll wait..

naTTan, acer's snapdragon on WM. And i have been using the OS3 before andriod so for the time being the apps on iphone is still better than those available on android - hope for more of those apps soon. Both have their own pro/cons - there is NO such thing as ONE device/platform to rule them all.

I just hope that android can use garmin

Indeed

i guess is it will be very soon, in the mean time, we can use google maps.

sigh......kukumap not runnin on pre-release OS

True, but as i said the cost factor for a decent iphone apps is seriously discouraging for me at least. Where else android is pretty much free since you always have a decent free app available. Although that being said, it's true as of now iphone app is pretty much kind in the sense of number and functionality, but damn do they cost. (Jailbreak and pirating is a solution if you could called it one.)

There is no one platform to rule it all, and some OS would evolve sooner then later, but as of now, lacking in a proper notification method is a drawback for iphone app, and another critical point would be multi task. Actually i always wonder why the need to limit multi task, isn't iphone phone in general have their own dedicated gpu variant? Couldn't they handle multi task better?

I'm not tryin to say iphone is the best but i'm sure we are intelligent enough to look at the sales figures. It could be apple's marketing strats - no drastic updates if the device sells like hotcakes haha....from a business point of view i would prolly do the same....since everyone's trying to come out with an 'iphone' killer every now and then.....so until other manufacturer takes the mantle, iphone would still be some sort of a yardstick for now. Android market DO need to come out with more productivity apps instead of games....i am not goin to spend rm2k+ on a smartphone just to play games you know.

google maps require data and data doesn't come cheap

i believe there are software that caches the maps.

even if it caches the map you would need to connect to get ur current position right?

htc hero selling in mahkota parade melaka already!
rm2699. black colour onli..
