Motorola Droid Features, Specs, Photos
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.
So far, HTC Hero is the most powerful Android phone, but soon Motorola Droid will take that place, although HTC Hero will also be upgraded to Android 2.0 soon.
Google Wave Desktop Client for Mac OS X
A week ago, I shared an Adobe AIR app that let’s you have Google Wave on your desktop.
Here’s another app that I have found to bring Google Wave to your desktop, but unlike Waver, this one is only for Mac OS X users.

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.
HTC PC Suite for G1 and Hero
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.
Tweetz: Twitter Gadget for Windows 7
I have already shared how you can get AdSense stats and Windows Live Calendar on your desktop as Windows Gadgets, now here’s a simple gadget for Twitter too.

HTC Android 2.0 Phones
Who came out with the first Android phone? HTC. And who was the second one? HTC. Third? HTC again. But guess what, HTC won’t be the first one to launch Android 2.0 phones, as Motorola is launching Droid in a week.
We weren’t sure if HTC would be really interested in launching Android 2.0 phones, and it was good to know that yes, HTC Android 2.0 phones are on their way!
