Android Donut operating system

The HTC Tattoo runs on Android version 1.6 otherwise known as Android Donut. Donut features many new features like a multi-lingual speech synthesis engine called Pico. It allows any Android application to "speak" a string of text with an accent that matches the language. There is also an upgraded search framework that provides a quick, effective, and consistent way for users to search across multiple sources—such as browser bookmarks & history, contacts, and the web—directly from the home screen. In respect of the camera, an updated user interface provides an integrated camera, camcorder, and gallery experience. Users can quickly toggle between still and video capture modes. Additionally, the gallery enables users to select multiple photos for deletion. Android 1.6 also provides a much faster camera experience. Compared to the previous release, launching the camera is now 39% faster, and there is a 28% improvement in the time from completing one shot to the next.

HTC Sense

HTC Sense is an intuitive, seamless experience built upon three fundamental principles - make it mine, stay close, and discover the unexpected. With its super customisable interface, you can make your phone your own with your favorite sources of information, communication and entertainment at a glance.

Make it Mine

With the HTC Tattoo you can create and personalise customisable widgets directly on your home screen to make your phone truly your own. If you’re into chatting, texting, and tweeting, can put all your communication widgets and apps right on your front screen. And if you’re into games, you can visit Android Market and download all the games you want. HTC Sense also features a new profile feature called ‘Scenes’, which can be used to create different screen arrangements that reflect different aspects of your life. Each Scene is like having a separate phone for your work, play or travel life.

Stay Close with the HTC Tattoo

Stay close to the people in your life, with all your text exchanges, email conversations, Facebook status, Flickr photo albums and phone logs, neatly organized by people. The 'stay close’ feature lets you manage your contacts via all the different sources you are accustomed to. When you view people, you can see all the different ways you have been in touch, including different email accounts, social networking updates and phone calls.

Discover the Unexpected

Look at things in a different perspective and discover the unexpected. With the HTC Tattoo, you can search just about anything in a simple and intuitive manner. Find a friend simply by dialling their phone number or by dialling their name. If you’re into music, you’ll love the way you can organise all your tunes by album, artist or by playlists you create.
