Due to yesterday’s announcement, you might think that Android is the only thing that HTC is focused on right now. But with only a month or so before the expected debut of HTC’s first Windows Phone 7, we can assure you that HTC is keeping quit busy these days. We’ve known for a while that Microsoft was not going to allow HTC or other manufacturers to skin WM7, so we were a little curious as to what HTC was planning to do in order to differentiate their WM7 offerings and make them stand a little bit more from the competition.
Enter HTC Hub. Two new video have just surfaced today which give us a sneak peak at what the HTC experience will look like on their Windows Phone 7 devices. The first video shows off some of the weather animation inside an application named HTC Hub. The clip on shows us a glimpse at the HTC Hub home screen, but we did catch a few other “apps” or experiences such as Stocks, Photo Enhancer, Converter, and an option to get more. It’s hard to tell exactly what HTC is planning for the HTC Hub, but it’s probably safe to say that it will be the focal point of HTC’s customization on their WP7 device.
The second video gives us a preview of a Notes application which features some impressive 3D effects, another looks at HTC’s weather app, Stocks, and a fun little “He love me not” app. It’s clear that HTC wants to give their WP7 devices a lot more than a stock installation of the OS and call it a day. HTC’s focus has always been about the consumers experience with the device. From what we have seen with these two clips, HTC will be giving their customer quite a unique and highly customized experience on the new OS.
