Canadian carrier Rogers have confirmed that they will offer the new Android 2.1 update to their
HTC Magic customers. The new Android 2.1 update will be sent out to customers by mid 2010 and will also include the HTC Sense Android user interface.
Sadly however due to the limitations of the HTC Dream, software updates won't be developed beyond the next Android 1.5 update.
Here's what Rogers had to say:
First, we will be implementing an update for the 1.5 OS to both the HTC Dream and HTC Magic in the upcoming weeks. These will offer a number of benefits for these devices, including bringing the HTC Sense experience to the HTC Magic, although the OS version will remain 1.5.
By mid-year, HTC will issue an upgrade to Android 2.1, including the highly acclaimed HTC Sense experience for the HTC Magic.
However, due to certain limitations on the HTC Dream, the software path for the HTC Dream will not be developed beyond the next Android 1.5 update. While we regret not being able to offer the same updates to both devices, by bringing this upgrade to the HTC Magic, we are delivering the best solution possible given the situation at hand.
Just yesterday Rogers announced that they would begin offering the
Sony Ericsson Xperia 10 exclusively from Q2.
