HTC Announces Upgrade To Sense UI

On the heals of my post yesterday about how the mobile phone companies are altering and locking down Android comes an announcement from the handset manufacturer HTC that they have upgraded their Sense UI. While Sense differentiates HTC’s phones from Motorola’s and Samsung’s, it also started the trend of handset manufacturers developing their own UI layers, nearly making Android unrecognizable. I don’t dispute that the upgrade brings valuable features to Android.

One new feature is caching to their mapping app so that you can use the map & navigation in areas where there is no data connection.
