HTC Tattoo video unboxing & first-impressions

By Chris Davies on Tuesday, Oct 13th 2009 No Comments

The HTC Tattoo may not have the flagship appeal of the HTC Hero, but with its entry-level positioning it has the potential to introduce a lot more users to the Android platform. HTC have kept costs down by choosing a smaller display and using a restive touchscreen, though you still get HSPA, WiFi b/g, GPS and the company’s latest UI enhancements. A Tattoo landed on SlashGear’s desk today; check out our video unboxing, first-impressions and comparison gallery with the HTC Hero after the cut.

SlashGear Week in Review – Week 41 2009

After spending most of Friday curled in a ball twitching and drooling after losing power and Internet access for almost 12 hours, I am glad to be back online and in the 21st century again. Just in time to hunker down and dose myself with a nice helping of week in review for your perusal. Chris reviewed the GSM Palm Pre and found the camera wasn't as good as some of its peers but found plenty to like in the end. The webOS operating system stands apart from rival OS'. Buffalo announced the HD-HU3 USB 3.0 drive and controller that will be shipping in Japan this month. The drive isn’t even that expensive; I hope it comes to America too.

We’re still anxiously rubbing our hands together in anticipation of our HTC HD2 review unit, but until that arrives we’ll make do with previews elsewhere. Mobile-Review have a well-warranted reputation for their smartphone nous, and so when they say the HD2 has no less communication skill than an iPhone and no less style than the original Touch Diamond, you know you’re looking at an impressive Windows Phone.
