AT&T tease Android users with HTC Sense device shown in video

AT&T is working to deliver an Android device, and not just the on-again-off-again Dell Streak. In a video posted of the AT&T labs touring the carrier’s testing facility, an employee shows off an Android device coming to the carrier.
“I can’t really tell you guys about,” the employee says as he briefly flashes it on-screen. However, as Phandroid notes, this looks similar to the HTC Aria/Liberty leaks that have been slowly trickling out over the past couple of weeks. Further stroking those suspicions are the split-second glimpses we get into an HTC Sense interface at about the 1:54 mark.
AT&T is definitely working on testing the device’s screen and software durability. Let’s just hope they are a little nicer to it than they’ve been with Motorola’s products. The phone shown in the video doesn’t look like much of a powerphone, but there’s room for a good “regular” phone.
ok so maybe you didnt notice this, by AT&T already released an Android device a few months back. The Motorola Backflip is much like the Cliq. I own it, I dont love it, but it works and its Android besides the fact that there are some restrictions on it. The must be in a contract with Apple not to advertise the fact that its an Android device, all the comercials only talk about the MotoBlur software, which sucks and drains the battery a lot. Side note, this blog crashes constantly on my IE.
Chrome FTW, you really need to lose internet exploder
ok, well the fact is that IE still exists and whether or not you like it, developers like myself have to test for it and make sure their websites work on it. what you are saying sounds a lot like what steve jobs is saying about Flash. The world is not just going to stop using IE.
If you support web standards, chances are your site wont work on IE. Everyone knows about the backflip, yes it is an android device but it is not anything revolutionary. HTC usually delivers great devices and understands what android is about, so this device is giving people on At&t hope for a above average Android device.
