News: What’s coming next after HTC Sense ?
Here is the answer to the question, HTC is now gearing up with its new 3G mobile handset to be based on the Qualcomm’s Brew Mobile Platform (BMP). This handset is an entry level handset which will be released in September or October. Like other latest handsets and the ongoing trend in the market, this BMP based handset too will be a touch enabled one.
By now you must be wondering what is this Brew Mobile Platform ?
Well! Brew Mobile Platform is another mobile OS developed by QualComm. Brew stands for “Binary Runtime Environment for Wireless”. It was originally developed for CDMA handsets. This is an open source project just like Android and freely available. Brew Mobile Platform is still developing and one of its advantages is better performance as it lowers the RAM overhead in mobile phones. So you can have a more appealing and functional OS on a lower RAM which in turn influences the pricing of the device. One of the other usage specific advantages is that you can run the BREW applications directly from your memory card and is in no way linked to your phone memory which means your can swap mobile phones without having to reinstall applications.
Let us wait and see what HTC is planning to innovate with a view to surprise us again, just like HTC Sense. However, one thing for sure we know, is that, this new development will surely give HTC more edge on to its other rivals.
