Well, a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2009\/12\/27\/htc-espressos-updated-sense-ui-shown-off-on-video\/\">video of the new version has appeared<\/a>, and it looks pretty slick. The program icons now have a translucent background, and it has an updated look overall. I&#8217;m not sure I like that new unlock screen, as it doesn&#8217;t seem to indicate which home screen is active, but that may just be me.<\/p>\n<p>T-Mobile G1 owners may be chowing down on some tasty Eclair next year, if <a href=\"http:\/\/www.androidspin.com\/2009\/12\/24\/the-unofficial-offical-eclair-rom-for-t-mobile-g1-confirmed\/\">this rumor pans out<\/a>. It is reported that Android 2.x, aka Eclair, will be doled out to the G1 early next year. It wasn&#8217;t clear if the older G1 could handle the next version of Android, but apparently it can. <a href=\"http:\/\/developer.android.com\/sdk\/android-2.0-highlights.html\">Android 2.x brings a lot of new features<\/a>, such as multiple email account support. It is also compatible with all the features of Google Maps Navigation.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.files.wordpress.com\/2009\/12\/beautiful-widgets1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-53144\" title=\"Beautiful Widgets\" src=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.files.wordpress.com\/2009\/12\/beautiful-widgets1.jpg?w=100&#038;h=150\" alt=\"\" width=\"100\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a>HTC Sense is a distinctive interface, largely due to the attractive widgets that HTC employs. Copying may be the sincerest form of flattery, but HTC is having none of it. The company has issued a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.androidguys.com\/2009\/12\/16\/htc-hits-levelupstudio-with-cd-over-beautiful-widgets\/\">cease-and-desist order<\/a> to LevelUp Studio, a developer that produces the <a href=\"http:\/\/levelupstudio.com\/widgets\">Beautiful Widgets<\/a> for Android.
