HTC Espresso
The HTC Espresso is one of those devices that is a bit of a mystery at the moment but is expected to be officially announced by HTC at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona next month.
Although specs for the device are not confirmed we believe it will be be an Android handset possibly with a QWERTY keyboard. What we have seen this week though is the UI and it looks pretty special.
mobilementalism.com have this week posted some photos of the Espresso ROM running on a HTC G1.

As you can see above, this new UI, that will sit on top of Android 2.1, has moved on from the “Sense” UI that was seen on the HTC Hero and then on the HD2. It’s more like TouchFlo 3D than Sense if you ask me.

The menu also has been reworked with each icon sitting in a nice transparent square. Plus there are a few new icons such as “IM” and “HTC News”. I am pretty sure they were not on the Hero or HD2. It certainly looks nice but as we all know, things are quite prone to changing before an official release so we will have to wait and see how close these images are to the final product.
