HTC UNLEASHES THE HTC SENSATION™ XL WITH BEATS AUDIO™
Beats integration, combined with amazing 4.7-inch display, introduces powerful entertainment experience
LONDON – October 6, 2011 – HTC Corporation, a global designer of mobile devices, today unveiled the HTC Sensation™ XL with Beats Audio™ integration. This latest innovation is the result of the new partnership between HTC and Beats announced in August and takes mobile entertainment to a new level with an amazing 4.7-inch screen and a specifically optimized audio experience. The HTC Sensation XL joins the HTC Sensation XE to provide customers with a strong line-up of HTC smartphones integrated with Beats Audio.
“With Beats Audio, the HTC Sensation XL continues HTC’s commitment of delivering the best audio possible on your phone whether you’re listening to music, watching a movie or playing a game,” said Peter Chou, CEO, HTC Corporation. “This is an amazing example of why our partnership with Beats makes so much sense for customers today and into the future.”
“HTC is an incredible partner and has completely embraced our desire to make the music experience on the mobile phone as powerful and as rich as it can be,” said Jimmy Iovine, Chairman of Beats by Dr. Dre.
Design, Performance and Stunning Audio
With the 4.7” screen, slim 9.9mm design and Beats Audio integration, the HTC Sensation XL was specifically created to deliver the best entertainment experience with stunning audio and visuals for music, movies and games. The HTC Sensation XL features unique audio tuning by Beats that ensures customers will hear their music as the artist intended.
Unique to HTC phones, the HTC Sensation XL includes new lightweight urBeats™ headphones, created exclusively to integrate with the Beats’ audio profile on the device. The built-in microphone makes hands-free calling easy and the on-cable remote control allows customers to pause, advance or rewind, and to answer a call mid-track.
Customers can also send music recommendations and track information to friends over SMS, email or through their Facebook profile. To allocate the perfect audio alert to an incoming call or message from friends and family, use the ringtone trimmer to edit a music track and add it to a friend’s contact profile.
HTC Watch
HTC Sensation XL integrates HTC Watch, an application and service that puts an entire library of the latest premium movies and TV shows right at your fingertips, letting people discover the latest video content in an easy and visually engaging way. HTC Watch uses progressive download technology that makes it possible to watch videos without waiting for a huge file to finish downloading. HTC Watch offers the choice of renting or buying videos, and, if purchased, lets customers watch them on up to five different HTC devices.
Capture the moment
The HTC Sensation XL boasts an 8MP camera, featuring a f/2.2, 28mm wide-angle lens with BSI sensor to fit more of the scene into every shot and for better low-light performance. In video mode, the HTC Sensation XL enables customers to record a perfect moment with stunning clarity and incredible stereo sound – perfect for sharing on YouTube, Facebook or a TV.
Availability
HTC Sensation XL will be available across EMEA and Asia Pacific from early November. In EMEA, HTC will also be offering a limited edition bundle that includes special edition Beats Solo headphones.
Many people are afraid to give up on bad relationships because they’re needing love so bad they’ll take anything they can get.

Ok. I’m going to post a few things from my collection of commissioned artwork. 90% of which was a gift from Mr. X for birthdays and whatnot.
This Prince piece was drawn by the wonderful Lea Hernandez
Prince @ The Forum 4/22/2011 W2A
I was blessed to be able to once again see my all time favorite artist on Friday April 22, 2011. I was grateful to attend with my brother, his girlfriend, and The Most Beautiful Girl In The World… my daughter. It was her first Prince concert and her first REAL concert.
Sitting in Col 10 Row 17 we had a great view of the stage. Videos played on the screens such as Sheila E., Taja Seville, Ike & Tina Turner, Jill Jones, just to name a few.
Prince introduced Mint Condition from back stage as they were the opening act. They played a lot of new stuff since they are promoting their new album. However they did play You Send Me Swinging and closed with Pretty Brown Eyes.
Then it was time…

At this point I just knew he was coming back for another encore. It was only 10:47pm and we waited and waited. For some reason people started doing the wave. Seriously? Dodger stadium is across town. Chants of “We Want Prince” and “Prince, Prince, Prince” were going on and still nothing happened. I had to call some people on the floor section to make sure it was really over.
Now I had heard that when you see the people with the brooms sweeping the stage it’s over. Well, dudes were sweeping and the guys doing the lights climbed down as well.
So on my way out I talked with long time friend Dr. Funkenberry for about 20 mins or so. Had my daughter purchase a tour book and then all hell broke loose. Prince comes out riding his bike around the arena. Folks cheered as he did that. It should be noted that he rides his bike to the stage coming back from changing his clothes.
The show was great. Although I have to say that I felt kinda cheated since we only got 1.5 hours. So clearly something was wrong or just Prince being Prince.
