I have some good news, that indicate that soon Sense UI may be officially made available for HTC Magic devices. At least where their carrier contracts and Google licensing requirements do not prevent it. (hope T-Mobile does not). HTC and Google heve released a new ROM update for the Magic, and it’s packing the Sense UI! Finally, Magic owners don’t have to put up with a stock Android homescreen anymore.

We know  that HTC promised to port Sense to previous models. Still. Sense UI availability on HTC Magic, was a super nice, consumer friendly act enough.  On the other hand, the G1/Dream, is not capable for the sence. The reason?, The Dream has a low software and hardware to handle the Sense.

Sorry G1 owners.
