HTC has unveiled the HTC Tattoo, an Android-powered smartphone that the company is pitching as a blank slate. Essentially, the handset lets users personalize many aspects of the device. That includes its apps, content, and even the hardware, HTC said in a statement, although so far it is being light on specifics.
One thing is for sure: the Tattoo is the second model after the HTC Hero to come with the company's new HTC Sense touch interface. The Tattoo also integrates Google Maps, Search, Mail, and Android Market, the latter of which lets users download from a catalog of thousands of third-party applications. The device also features a 3.2-megapixel camera with auto-focus, a standard-size 3.5mm headphone jack, and a microSD card sot.
So far, the HTC Tattoo will only be available in Europe beginning in October. But the company said rather mysteriously that it will also roll out in other markets around the world in the coming months. We've got a call in now with HTC to find out exactly what that means.

lol. To me it means that they are trying to keep up with the people on xda-developers who are hacking the dream/magic/hero anyway they want. HTC wants to find a way to make money off the modding community. Its the Google Ion for the masses.

I would prefer to go with HTC Tattoo Smartphone because it has a clean finish, pleasant to the eye and touch. Despite a plastic shell, not creak under the fingers. Same goes for the touchscreen which does not suffer, unless treated wild, no particular weakness. For probably a target of early adopters who want to install a Android smartphone, the silver finish, with a gradient of black, and the logo of the operating system from Google back to the Tattoo are young and apparatus connected.
