Aside from the usual
Gingerbread goodies, The
HTC Thunderbolt
over-the-air update (rolling out now) had a few other Sense goodies
bundled with it as well. As you can see from the above image, once the
T-Bolt is nestled comfortably in its dock, the HTC activates an all new
“Desk Mode” and viola — landscape Sense. This is a great surprise for
those lucky Thunderbolt owners lucky enough to grab the
official HTC dock from
Verizon when it debuted back in June.
Desk
Mode actually displays content a little different than when in portrait
mode making Sense look a little more like a tablet UI. You may have
noticed the transparent Friend Stream Widget and the Clock widget is now
smaller and in the upper corner instead of smack in the middle of the
screen.
While the new Desk Mode is only available while the
device is docked, I’m sure it’s only a matter of time before some ROM
developers
crack the
feature to work sans dock.
