HTCSense.com is LIVE!

HTC has launched their new HTCSense.com service, which offers users the ability to remotely operate and locate their handset. The service also offers such standard features as backing up data, but its the location service and the ability to remotely lock or wipe a lost or stolen handsets that will undoutedly prove the biggest attraction. The service was announced last month at a London event where HTC introduced two new handsets, the Desire HD and the Desire Z.

That leads us to the bad news here because HTCSense.com, as launched, only supports those two, as yet unreleased, handsets. Not much use for most people yet, but HTC should hopefully roll out support to more of its handsets as we move forward. Certainly owners of the original Desire would be a large demographic who would almost certainly appreciate this service.
