Price-wise it will probably be positioned between HTC Tattoo and HTC Hero. Its technical characteristics are better than both Tattoo and Hero, and are similar to HTC Legend.
Although the online version of the Android Market, is still inconvenient and almost useless, Google made one small, but important improvement – category selection. This is a small step in the right direction, and, hopefully, one day Market will become similar to the AppStore and provide users with advanced features.
