Goggles function, which debuted on Android 1.6 phones, can also recognize text, numbers and bar codes with the ability to provide data about a particular product. In addition, on the basis of image search program, it can provide information about nearby businesses, relevant to the image’s content.

There is still no information about Google Goggles function for devices running on other operating systems.

HTC released a slim and lightweight HD2 smart phone with a large multi-touch screen. The thickness of the device is only 11 mm, whereas the length is 120.5 mm, and width – 67 mm. Screen of HTC HD2 smart phone is one of the largest in its class. Screen sizes of most modern smart phones are closer to 3.5-inch iPhone 3GS screen. HD2 is running under Windows Mobile 6.5 with HTC Sense interface. The device is based on Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset, with a frequency of 1 GHz, equipped with a 5-megapixel camera and GPS-navigator. Built in memory is 448 MB. There is a slot for microSD cards. In addition to GSM and WCDMA, other cellular standards are also supported, as well as Wi-Fi 802.11b / g and Bluetooth 2.1.

In February 2010, HTC Company will introduce a direct Hero communicator’s descendant. This information came from one of the manufacturer’s employees, Patrik Andersson, who occupies not the lowest position in it. According to Patrick, the new communicator‘s premiere is to be held on February 15, 2010. This apparatus, which still has no name, will inherit only the best from its predecessor and gain new, more modern specifications.

Of course, HTC will not renounce the use of Google Android operating system (latest version), however, they will set their own proprietary Sense interface. It is still difficult to imagine Hero descendant’s differences from its cousin, as the latest is “stuffed” to the maximum – there is GPS, Wi-Fi with Bluetooth, touch screen with a big diagonal, and even powerful camera. Developers will likely to replace camera by a more advanced one, for example, 8-megapixel. We just have to wait until mid-February, and then all new Hero secrets will become obvious.
