HTC Dream : The first Android system aboard an HTC for Asia and Australia


HTC announced the HTC Dream, the Android OS powered PDA for Asia and Australia market. HTC as a brand has been famous for introducing breakthrough PDA models. From its phenomenal HTC Tytn and Tytn II up to its stylish and sleek HTC Touch family. HTC is also the manufacturer of the sexy T-Mobile G1 with Android OS, which was launched last September 2008. T-Mobile G1 has been reviewed by the reputable Engadget, and generally received so-so review, praising its innovativeness and software, but also commented on the lacks of several basic features found on other OS such as Windows Mobile or Iphone. 

Now with HTC Dream annoucned, it is interesting to see how it will do in Asian and Australian market. Though Asian mobile brands (Samsung and LG) are renowned for their stylish design, HTC Dream's design is a little bit bland and plain. No silver linings. No glossy finish. Just a device that tries to entice you to its smartness.


Here are the key features of the HTC Dream, according to Optus Australia :
  • 3.2-inch TFT-LCD flat touch-sensitive screen with HVGA (320 X 480 pixel) resolution.
  • Customisable Home screen with instant Email, text message and IM notifications.
  • Full 5-row QWERTY keyboard.
  • One-touch access to Google Search, mobile Internet services - Gmail, YouTube, 
  • Google Maps & Calendar.
  • 3G/2100MHz
  • Wi-Fi technology with seamless transition to open networks.
  • Android Market™ with access to a variety of applications and media downloads.
  • 3.2 megapixel color camera with auto focus.
  • microSD™ (SD 2.0 compatible) expansion slot up to 8GB.
