It was back in August 2011 when HTC acquired Dashboard which the company wanted to use to beef-up its Cloud-based Sense service. As we know, that didn’t lean anywhere and now they’re re-launching it to help mobile operators “simplify the smartphone user experience.”
The press release we’ve got suggests that Dashwire will make it easier for consumers to set up, personalize and use their new smartphones across leading Android device brands. So it’s not HTC smartphones the service will work with but handsets made by other companies, as well.
In the words of HTC’s president of engineering & operations Fred Liu, such wide solution will “ultimately benefit the entire mobile device ecosystem, including HTC.”
Dashwire has been working with operators in the U.S. and Europe, and is now growing its global portfolio through efforts at Mobile World Congress and beyond.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
