fredisco in the Wizard upgrading forum posted a link to a very interesting look at the Windows Mobile AKU series on mobile-review http://www.mobile-review.com/pda/articles/wm-aku-en.shtml
Some of the features would be very welcome, improvements to Bluetooth and Wifi (WPA2 support). Of course some of these items are already being enjoyed on the Blue Angel and Universal courtesy of resident rom guru's like Cmdr Ivan and Helmi_C and others. I did see some of these improvements myself with my BA but because of the beta status some of the features didnt work or were missing. But they really enhanced the device's functionality and I am looking forward to an upgrade for the TyTN.
The TyTN is currently on AKU 2.3, I wonder how long it will take and if HTC actually plan to release AKU 3 for the TyTN and its other current phones. Hopefully we will see this very soon.
One thing i thought i'd mention - the article mentions accessing folders in the inbox without using the stylus but that is possible now. Check out the Go to option from the right soft key in POutlook.
AKU Release 3
Hi, thank you for the link.
It makes interesting reading.
I take it the AKU 3.0 has been released
The only official release of AKU3 is for the iDO here http://www.ido-users.net/index.php?showtopic=13. So its possible that at least HTC will release it since they are in control of their own devices now.
I was reading it myself last night. With its improved A2DP stack, AKU3.0 would sure be the trick for the TyTN's problems. Wouldn't it be amazing if this AKU is the TyTN rom update that HTC plans on releasing in a week or two....
It would be good if that is what is released, I think the last official rom release for the Wizard was 2.3 so lets hope HTC kicks off with a higher version.
Here is the leaked version of HTC TouchFlo 2.0 from the developement lab..still under development..

MortgageCALC Version 1.5 has today been released.
New version has improved compatibility with HTC Diamond.
More details available here
Swedish android site swedroid.se published a little snippet from a members communication with HTC about 1.6 for HERO.
Dear HTC customer,
The Hero will not be receiving the Android 1.6 upgrade, it will however get the 2.0 one. Do note however that we do not have a confirmed release date for this upgrade, all I can recommend at the moment is that you keep yourself updated by visiting our website regularly as the latest information will be available to view from there.
Best regards,
HTC customer support team

If we get 2.0 not to far from now I really won't miss 1.6 either really. Kernel sources + 2.0 in a not so distant future is acceptable if 1.6 is not released. Thoughts?
Really????
I was looking forward to the release of 1.6 for my Hero!
Ah well, roll on Android 2.0, Hopefully this will be very soon.
I wont miss 1.6, i'd rather get 2.0 and skip donut all together.
2.0 gets free google nav software
Hmm - i prefer small incremental updates.
2.0 will be atleast 2(?) months off?
maybe, i think by christmas...wouldn't that be nice
1.6 was a nice to have, but 2.0 looks like it's going to improve quite a few. Lets hope they get it out soon, looks like the Moto Droid is already running 2.0 - released Nov 6th.

Thx for this update. I was in contact with HTC via email recently (about 2 weeks) and at this time they told me they don't know yet if an updated ROM based on 1.6 will be released (and when).
Today I wrote them again regarding 2.0 (before I saw this thread), so I'll keep you up to date here as soon they get back to me ...
...then I waiting Android 2.0
Is good.
This is also confirmed on the HTC Twitter feed.. http://twitter.com/htc
is this going to be for gsm again and no cdma?!

Very helpfull, thank you
No problem. I'm hoping I can track down a WVGA HTC device with 6.5.3 released in WWE. It seems the only official builds of 6.5.3 from HTC for WVGA devices are in Chinese.

Yup, HTC doesn't want to give us HD2 WM6.5.3 update, while we all hope it exists (well, it does for sure, WM6.5.3 is built for devices like HD2 with capacitive touchscreens so MS tested it on it for sure).
one more device on Sprint - Motorola ES400S

There are internal builds for HD2s with WM6.5.3 (the TMoUS HD2 stuff all works out of box with WM6.5.3, and has been tested on it), but they won't see the light of day.
So you got that stuff? Why it won't see light - HTC won't release it ever? Even not for TMOUS? (I'm glad its for TMOUS, if it ever leaks).

I very much doubt HTC will release it, most of HTCs stuff is now working on WP7/Android, with very little effort focused on WM6.X devices.
I don't have a complete build, I'm fairly sure they do exist though.
Samsung Omnia 735 (B7350 Omnia Pro 4) - 2,62″ resistive touch screen (320×320 pixels)
