Are you a Canadian resident and had an eye on the HTC dream or HTC Magic, ever since it was launched in some other parts of the world? If your answer is yes, then its time for you to rejoice!
Because, Rogers Wireless has announced the launch of both the Android powered devices currently in the market, to flock the Canadian market on the 2nd of June.
John Boynton, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, Rogers Wireless said, “Who else but Rogers would be the first carrier to offer Canadians the first chance to join the mobile revolution with a choice of not one, but two, handsets powered by the Android platform? The HTC Magic offers a responsive touch screen and the HTC Dream delivers both a touch screen and a slide out QWERTY keyboard. Both devices offer outstanding wireless internet search capabilities and a full suite of applications that run two times faster on Canada’s fastest mobile network.”
We do not have much details as of now. But, the launch date of HTC Dream will definitely be 2nd June. HTC Magic will either be launched on the same date or some time later in the month of June.

Today, we have another rumor about an Android device hitting the market, some time later this year. This time, the tip-off comes from none other than Motorola.
The mobile phone giant has given indications that it plans to become “friends” with Android this year. And, it seems, the device will be launched in 4th quarter of this year.
Now, would you like to know the possible specs ? The specs are almost the same as the other Android devices in the market, and the ones “rumored” to be released. But there are two specs, which will be a surprise for you. First, the usual specs : an all touchscreen device, 3.5mm jack, GPS, long battery life (I don’t know if this should go under the unusual specs, as every company claims to provide this). And, now the unusual specs : a 3.7″ screen(there is no information about the resolution) and a 8MP camera. There is no news regarding if the device will have a flash.
The specs of this device seems to be quite impressive. And, Motorola would be able to conquer quite a large portion of the Android market, if it is really able to provide the above mentioned features.
A couple of days back, I laid my hands on the leather case for my T-Mobile G1. It has got the perfect openings.
Here’s a picture of my phone lying inside the leather case :
The following image shows how the device looks from the front, while safely fitted inside the case. And also notice, how conveniently you can access the call answer and reject buttons, the back button, the home button and the menu button :
The next picture shows the opening for the volume button :
The next image shows you the easy accessibility of the camera button, while the phone is resting inside the case :
The keyboard can be accessed while the device is still inside the case :
A strap is given at the top, to hold the keyboard in its place, after the screen has been slided up :
The next image shows the opening for the charging slot-cum-earphone jack.
This case has got perfect opening for the camera as well as the speakers :
In my honest opinion, investing in a good case, like this one from pdair, is a must for any individual who really loves his gadget and wants to protect it. Since the day I have safely preserved my phone in the case, I never felt the need to take it out, for any functionality.
I would say, its worth the investment as it’s of great quality and great value.
