HTC UNVEILS A NEW SENSE

Along with the announcement of new Desire HD and Desire Z handsets, HTC unveiled a new Sense.   They were very explicit that Sense was not a UI (User Interface) or an overlay, but something different.  The details of the new Sense are:

The boot time of Sense has been cut down to 10 seconds.

DLNA support is built in to allow content streaming to other DLNA devices.

A new incoming call screen slides up from the bottom of the screen instead of taking up the entire screen.

Maps will now cache data to facilitate quicker map rendering.

A digital compass is utilized to allow the map to orient itself to the direction you are heading.

The new Sense focuses on letting you control and interact with your data instead of merely presenting it to you.

A new website will launch next month — htcsense.com — that will allow you to:

• Backup and view text messages and call logs.
• Remote wipe the device.
• Enable call forwarding.
• Send map coordinates or trip information.
• Locate your phone.
