Jealous of the updated versions of found on the likes of the and ? Well, don’t be, because have confirmed that v2.1 is coming to to a Tattoo near you in the not too distant future.
The HTC Tattoo is the perfect device for those who want to get on the Android ladder. Boasting a cute and compact form factor, 2.8 inch and smooth curved edges, the Tattoo is loaded with high end features, from HSDPA and Wi-Fi, to GPS and social networking integration.
Best of all, despite these high end features, the Tattoo doesn’t have a matching price tag. This budget Android is designed to bring Google’s OS to the masses and can be picked up on a ?20 per month tariff with 200 minutes, unlimited texts and 10 months half price.
The catch? Well, the Tattoo has been left by the way side to an extent, stuck on version 1.6 of Google’s Android OS which is currently up to version 2.1 in other phones. But, have confirmed that a planned software update will bring the Tattoo up to speed and bring with it the likes of Google Earth for Android and Gesture Search for Android.
HTC have confirmed that they are currently working on the upgrade for the Tattoo to combine Android v2.1 with HTC’s own Sense UI and whilst they wouldn’t give away any concrete dates, they have simply stated that they “expect to have the upgrade finished and ready to go soon“. Keep an eye on the for more information as and when we get it.
