One of the biggest problems that HTC Hero modders have been coming up against in their quest to create the perfect Hero ROM has been the lack of an available open-source kernel. Without access to the full kernel, there’s only so much that can be hacked/modded. Today, that all changes. HTC has themselves posted up…
HTC struggling to keep up with Hero demand

HTC Hero coming to AT&T in early 2010?
It seems the HTC Hero won’t be a Sprint only thing forever. PhoneArena has been tipped that the Android-powered device will find its way to AT&T at some point in early 2010. That means the Christmas season is out, and the carrier will most likely focus on the iPhone sales, and jump into Google’s mobile…

HTC Tattoo with £20 eXpansys Vouchers
The HTC is ANOTHER new Android device that has just come to market (seems to be an Android onslaught at the moment, what with the likes of the Motorola DEXT and Samsung i7500 too). It’s a mid-ranger in my view, with specs that aren’t quite as impressive as the Hero – but one thing it…
WIND Device Lineup Leaked
The up and coming Canadian carrier, wind, is getting close to launch, and will apparently be bragging no contracts, no system access fee, free caller ID and voice mail, no long distance charges for calls within your province, and a freaking Microsoft Surface in every store.

Amazon offering AT&T’s HTC PURE for $0.01
AT&T’s own on-contract pricing for their HTC PURE (AT&T’s branded Touch Diamond2) wasn’t too bad, but it’s got nothing on Amazon’s asking price. Amazon is now offering the just-launched AT&T PURE for just a penny, when purchased with a new 2-year contract through AT&T. Leave it to Amazon to undercut AT&T on a spanking brand-new…
