HTC Explains What Sets the myTouch 3G Apart

Jul 8, 2009, 2:29 PM by Eric M. Zeman

Today HTC shared some previously unknown details about the forthcoming myTouch 3G. From a software standpoint, there are three things setting it apart from the standard Android platform. The first is the Sherpa application. Sherpa is an application for users to search for things that are nearby. It learns user preferences and includes location data to generate a profile for what to suggest depending on where users are and what they've searched for in the past. The myTouch 3G will also include the Apps Pack. The Apps Pack is essentially going to be an app or widget that features the newest, hottest, latest applications that are in the Android Market. It will constantly refresh and offer new suggestions to end users on what apps they might download. Last is the WorkEmail software. The myTouch will be endowed with an email client that only interfaces with Microsoft's Exchange servers. This means there will be three email clients on the myTouch 3G. One for Gmail, one for POP3/IMAP, and one for Exchange accounts. HTC indicated that these services may not be offered to the G1, which also runs Android.

Well at least SOMEONE is explaining the difference...

T-Mobile has it's employees watching all these videos and training activities on the MyTouch and they all say how this device is 'Unique and different' from the G1 and other Android devices but they never explain what those differences actually are.
