14 DAY TRIAL // Although Redmond-based software giant Microsoft announced officially that mobile phone makers won't be able to pre-load their own user interfaces over the upcoming Windows Phone 7 operating system, a video preview that supposedly shows HTC's Sense UI thrown over the platform
seems to prove otherwise.
In all fairness, the Taiwanese mobile phone maker did announce previously that it plans on making some enhancements to the new mobile operating system, but nothing was known specifically on what this means until now.
Provided that the video presentation that emerged over the Internet (at Mobile Digest and Engadget) indeed shows us the upcoming HTC Sense interface for Microsoft's Windows Phone 7 OS, things should prove more than appealing, that's for sure.
Previous rumors did suggest that HTC is readying the release of a Sense UI for Windows Phone 7, but nothing solid on this emerged into the wild until now.
Moreover, additional proof comes from a second video available on the Internet, which features an unannounced HTC mobile phone, as the guys over at Pocket PT claim.
According to them, the upcoming mobile phone is called HTC Hub, and it runs HTC Sense on top of Windows Phone 7.
The first video below should offer a glimpse at some of the applications and features of Windows Phone 7 with HTC Sense, with smooth 3D animations and appealing graphics.
If HTC indeed pushes the solution on upcoming mobile phones, it would make a wide range of users happy, one should agree, just as the older HTC Sense did (it is already available on Android and Windows Mobile devices out there).
However, it sill remains to be seen whether the final flavor of the UI would look the same, and what some of the elements that can be seen there are all about, including that “HTC Portal.”
Of course, there are also great chances that the videos are not the real deal, though the launch of HTC's first Windows Phone 7 devices would certainly clarify this.
