HTC VueFLO in Action
Posted by Nurhisham Hussein in "SOFTWARE" @ 10:30 AM
"Now, with the HTC Athena (also known as T-Mobile Ameo or HTC X7500 Advantage), HTC added another technology it calls "VueFLO" which uses the G-Sensor which the Athena includes. Basically, the G-Sensor was designed to protect the hard disk from damage, in case the device drops or gets other shocks but the G-Sensor can also be used for navigating through the operating system."
VueFLO is one of the software perks that comes standard on the HTC Advantage platform - what it does is use an accelerometer to translate movement into OS input. If this seems familiar, the iPhone uses (or to be more precise...is going to use) the same thing to switch between landscape and portrait mode. Arne at the unwired.net has given VueFLO a workout and has a video showing VueFLO in action while browsing webpages. Most reviews I've seen put VueFLO squarely in the gimmick category, and Arne's is no exception. Anybody else think differently?
