I know they had mentioned a few times they wouldn't forget about 7" tablets. Very few of those are of such a high res. And they are developing a phone version. And they showed it running on a 7" tablet. Bottom line, IMHO we should be OK.

It would, it would just take some very minor APK changes i believe
So dont give up hope
Yeah the lack of launchers is probably the worst thing about being on honeycomb. Sense launcher/AOSP launcher, nearly identical aside from the fact that the AOSP one sports a sense-ish look and supports the sense widgets. Its not terrible, but the lack of folder support sucks, and there really isn't any real alternatives for honeycomb other than Go Launcher HD, but even then you loose your WYSIWYG widgets, and the launcher is still in early stages and imo kind of an ugly beast at this point. All the phone launchers work fine, but they don't support the honeycomb look. ADW EX is supposed to work pretty well for honeycomb but they hosed it with the last update...in December so I think Anderweb is gone.
So I do hope this launcher does pan out to give us another alternative.

I went back and re-read the info they provided. After commenting that their initial release was to be targeted at the 10" tablet they did say they planned to support 7" tablets. I thought I saved the paragraph to Pocket but I don't have it so I can't provide the exact quote.

I acquired an APK just now. Works on HC, will test on ICS soon.
I will drop a hint: GIYF
If you guys want a small review or anything if it's worth your money just ask.
$10? Jeez my interest just faded. No matter how cool it is its just a launcher. I have a hard time spending that kind of cash on anything for android! It's like that spb shell launcher. It looks gorgeous but it's $14. What if I don't like it? Then I got 15 minutes to get a refund.
Maybe they should give you a week trial with this stuff. The money might be worth it but you just don't know. It's still in beta so hopefully they have a trial when it launches
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
I honestly wouldn't call it a beta. It's more of an alpha as you can't add your own widgets or have your on wallpaper.

The Flyer and Evo View 4G are nice tablets. That being said they were way over priced from the jump. The newer tablets have much more to offer. I bought this one for $189 refurbed from Buy.com, totally worth it IMO.

What is it called? and were can i find a release date?
Last I heard it was to be called the Google Play. Notice they changed the name of the market recently. But everything is still a rumor thus far. The Asus Memo is supposed to drop in the next few months. The Google tablet is supposed to be similar, but scaled down a bit. Less memory,as it will use cloud storage etc are some of the rumors.

Don't count the Galaxy Nexus getting time;y uppdates from sprint seeing as my Nexus S 4g still hasn't even received an estimate to the release of the update to 4.0.x. I don't really care whose fault it is at this point (Google, Samsung, Sprint) I will not take my chances with a nexus on a CDMA network again, the Verizon GN is having late update issues as well.
Actually, EVO 3D is getting ICS this end of April or the beginning of May. So if you can wait a few weeks you'll be able to get ICS and still keep Sense. ICS will have Sense 3.6 included. I suggest you Google it. I can't leave you a link and make your life easier since I'm still a Junior. Sense 3.6 is exactly like the HTC one X. (Or was it XL?) Well just letting you know dude.

There is zero need to prove it right now if you insist on being lazy and not simply looking it up your self....they are widely different.
4.0 has things like....different launch bar(rosie), white menus, the whole camera apk improvements, app drawer scrolls sideways...Fully integrated beats with it able to use on 3rd party apps, dropbox storage deal,...
3.6 has same theme black menus, app drawer scrolls vertical, a different rosie, and missing all the stuff mentioned above...
Look them up and you'll see.
Next time you ask a question without searching at all I personally won't answer you. Please take the 5sec to search even YouTube for a sense 3.6 vid and sense 4.0 vid...

Nah its a gimmick right now. 3D devices have not taken off as I wish it would. Hopefully within the coming years it will be more common.
Capturing moments in 3d is great....but sharing a moment in 3d would be great as well...and not many people out there that you can share a 3d picture or video with.

A couple months ago word broke that HTC was looking to break into the phablet market and today those claims are resurfacing again from numerous mobile tech sites. Specs include 1080p 5' screen and a quadcore S4 chip along with its own scribe pen. Do you think HTC can make a splash in this market, should it have sense or vanilla android and what specs do you want to see?

They just changed Sense for the better in Sense 4.0, and soon in Sense 4.1 which will improve on Sense further.

I kind of do. But I understood that going from HTC to Samsung would (IMNSHO) be a downgrade in the user experience.
The screen size & battery life along with CM/AOSP/AOKP is a good decision for myself.

God I hated Sense on my Evo 3d. No copy and paste from the dialer to start. Remove sense (install a clean rom) and Caller ID breaks. Plus a whole bunch of other small annoyances that add up to a whole lot of frustration. Maybe the new version is better but I'll never go back to Sense.
Sense ui.....=HTC bloat.....imho
Loved the 4 htc devices I have used, but they sure ran nice on CM....g
I think htc lost their way. I loved sense on wm6.5 on my hd2, especiLly the hacked ROMs that increased the icons. I preferred that GUI to their android GUI (which was based on their wm GUI originally). I have most of myold devices (all the way back to a Psion Orhamiser!) And its clear HTC once had really cool devices. Now they are ME TOO. No real differentiation. Samsung is winning at the moment.
But watch out for ASUS. They will appear from nowhere in the mobile market with outstanding devices (much like they have in the notebook market and now the Microst tablet).

the only thing I miss from the sense is the camera feature that you could make funny faces while taking the picture. other than that I am totally happy with the samsung version of android. I recently switched to jelly bean and I like it even more.
I've always liked it too but it's true it's become way too bloated after like sense 2.0

well why would they release it before the One? if they want the phone out there, it seems like post-One is the way to go. You get people to buy your flagship first. If there are others who didnt want the flagship or just never even considered it because of price, then they'll be up for this phone. Many who would buy the mini would have never bought the One in the first place, but you have to lead with your flagship.

Yeah it should be free. HTC is probably doing to make some money from this because people will think its a smaller HTC One. Its not. It's **** that looks the same.
Free? Why would it be free? The phone makes total sense... Once the max comes out they'll have a perfect line of One devices. Small, Medium, and Large.
There has to be some differences in specs between the three.
And why wright the specs off as crappy? They almost match the moto x at half the price. And there's plenty of reviews that say the mini runs great.

My cousin just got the One Mini and the first thing she said about it is it's the same size as an iPhone. It's her first Android phone and so far no complaints. It's just a watered down One but it is quite smooth and snappy for those specs plus its got the front speakers and most of the perks of the One. For a mid range phone, it sure can't be beaten!

To disable the facebook, all you do is click on facebook home and unchecke it from lockscreen and uncheck it for launcher . Then just set are launcher. As always .
