I just wrote about the new Orkut design that has been released today. Unlike Facebook and other social networks, Orkut has decided to give this new design on invitation-basis,a tleast for now.

The most-awaited release of Verizon’s Motorola Droid is just around the corner and will be the first phone to run Android 2.0.

Google Wave Desktop Client for Mac OS X

Android 2.0 Eclair for HTC Hero Confirmed
The rumours were already there that HTC Hero users might get an Android 2.0 Eclair update, and it has just been confirmed by HTC on Twitter that the rumours are true!
They are working on the neat Sense UI for Android 2.0 and will soon release the update. No dates have been mentioned. Just yesterday, I wrote about how to get Android 1.6 Donut on Hero, but looks like it won’t be needed any more.

The only complain that Android OS users do is that there is no proper PC Suite or PC Software for Android phones. HTC Sync is available for HTC Android phones, but all it does is transfer .APK files or sync contacts.
HTC Phone Portal is a cool little phone manager app that works really well with HTC Hero and G1. It’s an app that runs a web server from your phone that you can access over Wifi from any browser on the same network.
