This means you can now enjoy Windows Media Player and iTunes synchronisation on all of the above devices as well as synchronisation of pictures, documents and bookmarks with the desktop, not to mention synchronisation of contacts and calendar with Outlook.

Android 2.1 update available for the HTC Hero

HTC Hero Android 2.1 FOTA Update

HTC have released a Firmware Over The Air (FOTA) update for the Hero, updating the operating system to Android 2.1

The update is available now for download. Weighing in at 84.3MB HTC advise downloading the update over a WiFi connection.

To force the Hero to search for available updates, browse to Settings --> About Phone --> System Software Updates --> Check Now

Transferring files to and from an Android device from a Mac

Android Logo

Using the Google Android SDK, if your Android device does not support USB storage mode, you can transfer files to and from the Android device as well as any inserted memory card. In this post I shall only be dealing with MacOS, but similar instructions apply to both Linux and Windows.

The SDK can be downloaded from the Google Developer web site - http://developer.android.com

Once you have downloaded the SDK ZIP file, extract the contents. In the Tools folder, double click the "ddms" file:

Is Android ready for the Enterprise?

Currently in version 2.3.4 at the time of writing, Android offers high levels of user-customisation, social networking integration and a 'desktop-like' mobile browsing experience. The platform is very attractive to consumers...but is the operating system ready for the Enterprise?

What is meant by an 'Enterprise-ready' operating system? Ideally the platform should offer the features required by a mobile user as well as conform to the security policy defined by the IT department.

What on Earth is Augmented Reality?

Augmented Reality (AR) is the term for technology that presents the user with a 'mixed' view of the physical world combining a video image of a location together with an overlaid computer-generated view providing information about that location.

A simple example would be the practice of artificially defining pitch lines during sports television broadcasts to enable the viewer to better appreciate team territory possession or possible penalty offences.

How to hard reset the HTC Hero

NOTE - performing a hard reset on the Hero will erase all user data and applications on the device and return the unit to a factory-default state.

  • Power the unit off (removing the battery if necessary)
  • Hold down the Home and Back keys
  • Press the power button whilst still holding down the Home and Back keys
  • After a few seconds a message will be displayed on the screen prompting you to press the Menu button to confirm the reset process.
  • Release all buttons, then press the Menu button to hard reset the device

Using the HTC Hero as a USB Modem

It is posible to use the HTC Hero as a USB 3G modem with Windows XP and Vista.

In order to use this functionality, the HTC Sync software must be installed onto the PC first (http://blog.brightpointuk.co.uk/synchronise-htc-hero-microsoft-outlook).

The HTC Sync installer is included on the SD card that comes in the Hero sales package, or alternatively is available for download from our FTP site:

Synchronise the HTC Hero with Microsoft Outlook

The HTC Sync application that ships with the Hero enables the synchronisation of contact and calendar information from either Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express or the Windows Address Book.
Also included is the Application Installer, which enables the installation of APK Android application packages onto the Hero from your PC.

Introducing the HTC Hero

Introducing the HTC Hero

Working for one of the key players in the mobile data industry and getting advance samples of devices before they reach the market is definitely one of the big plus points of my job, but it is easy to become 'de-sensitised' to new products and be distinctly under-whelmed by the big announcements that others get excited about.

This is not one of those times.
