Once again delaying my tour of a particular stretch of the coast of Tenerife due to a lack of aerial imagery that I can use, Video Podcast 3 is similar to Video Podcast 2 in that it involves an early version of an Android port on a Windows Mobile device. Video Podcast 2 featured touchphone from 2008 (the HTC Touch Diamond), whereas Video Podcast 3 features a touchphone from 2009, the Snapdragon-powered HTC HD2. If the Touch Diamond could be considered a sibling of devices such as the Hero, the HD2 is a sibling of the EVO 4G, Nexus One, Incredible and Desire.

Anyway, that's enough preamble. This video podcast, like the last one, is more rushed than my first one, and I make use of music I didn't write in this one - Hiding in a Shadow, White Evening and Born Already are by remaxim of ccMixter.org though, of course, the Emptosoft Background music and Emptosoft Logo from previous video podcasts are my own.

The video podcast is titled "Android on a HTC HD2" and is 10 minutes and 51 seconds long (I have a reasonable play with Android). The Android ROM I use is Android 2.1 with HTC Sense, and can be downloaded here, and requires the automatic backlight adjustment in Windows Mobile to be turned off as well as a T-Mobile US-based HD2 ROM to work properly/at all. If you want to keep an eye on progress with Android or Linux in general on the HD2, point your browser here. Download links:

- MP4 - Small (11.0MB)
