HTC Desire as a sysadmin operational center
I got acquainted with HTC Desire yesterday. However, with his brother, HTC Hero, I talk quite tightly for several months, and indeed really tightly (my colleagues and I have been working, including developing software, including for this platform).
There are already a lot of laudatory and other reviews on Desire, but I, before the intention to acquire a communicator, had a clear intention to acquire something that can be made a mobile operations center.
Below are the first impressions of using the communicator as a control center.
')
Addition : all other things being equal, I personally prefer the OS of the U * ix family, hence the choice of the communicator model.
1. Overall impression . Favorable. Both from the appearance, the convenience of the interface in general and the performance characteristics in general, and the novelty of iron and the standard OS in particular (kernel 2.6.29 is fairly fresh).
2. The problem of the rapid discharge of batteries (I look at the dynamics of discharge) is unlikely to be particularly troubling. I do not have the habit of playing music on the communicator for a long time (on the way, I'd rather listen to music from the player), watch a movie on it or “hang” on the Web in IM and other services.
In addition, almost everywhere where I am long, there is a computer, therefore - almost always there is a free USB, therefore - put the communicator to recharge, if the battery is hooked. And for intervals of several hours, when you may suddenly need to go online (almost everything I do in such urgent situations, is done from the command line), the battery is sufficient.
3. Minimally necessary software . Than to read e-mail, documents (text, PDF), than to watch sites, there is - regularly pre-installed.
What else is needed for work:
- SSH client . As far as I understand, ConnectBot is convenient enough.
- Jabber-client . For now, I’ve stayed at Meebo
- synchronization of contacts and tasks - by regular means, synchronization with the address book and Google calendar; for quick creation of notes there are different versions of Notepads.
As a result, we get a not too heavy, fairly convenient mobile op. Center system administrator. Sharing with a computer is simple - there is a connection mode as a disk, for synchronization it is enough to write the necessary shell script for a short time.
The only thing that turned out to be not very convenient was the preliminary transfer of contacts and other data from the previous phone, the Nokia 5500. I did not find any shorter way than Nokia - PC Suite - Outlook Express - HTC Sync - Desire.
Question still unsolved: Truecrypt port for Android.
