The Android-bearing HTC Magic has been launched in anumberofmarkets, including Spain, where Engadget’s resident team got a chance to put the phone through the ringer. The portrait keyboard loses points for the small keys, and apparently the battery isn’t quite juicy enough, but the Magic is extremely slim in comparison to other full touchscreen devices out there, and you can’t argue with its native integration with all things Google. Take a looksee for the full low-down.
Simon Sage’s education largely surrounded writing, technology and online community, leading him to begin his blogging career at www.BlackBerryCool.com and to quickly discover a vibrant and active community surrounding BlackBerry and mobile technology. In exploring RIM’s platform, he has learned what enterprises are looking for in mobility as well as what makes the innocuous BlackBerry so appealing to them. Recently Simon’s been covering RIM’s gradual move into an already-crowded consumer market, and the impact of burgeoning challengers, such as the iPhone, as well as long-time leaders, like Nokia, on BlackBerry’s advancement.
With plenty of content under his belt, Simon will be branching off a bit to see what other smartphone manufacturers are working on while still using BlackBerry as a barometer. At IntoMobile, you can count on his posts being even-handed, well-informed and thought-out.
