If you thought the innovative HTC Sense UI on the HTC Hero was limited to the Android OS, you’d be wrong. Well, half-wrong. HTC designed the Sense UI to run on top of the Android OS, but that hasn’t kept enterprising developers from porting the UI to the Windows Mobile platform. What you see here is the Sense UI running on a Windows Mobile-powered HTC Vogue smartphone!

The Sense UI you see below runs inside a Linux wrapper, which is itself running inside Windows Mobile. So, before you get all excited about installing Sense on your WinMo handset, just know that the process isn’t exactly easy. There are still bugs in the Windows Mobile Sense UI project, and it’s all meant to be a proof-of-concept. That means you probably won’t want to use this hack on an everyday basis.

Still, we’d like to see Sense UI hitting as many smartphone platforms as possible in the coming months.

    This is way not correct. ANDROID has been ported to the Vogue. Sense UI runs inside Android. Its NOT inside a windows wrapper, there is a windows based bootloader that REPLACES Winmo in memory. Please do some research before posting a story!
