HTC’s Drew Bamford told Forbes in an interview that HTC is continuing Sense on Windows Phone 7 after all.
Bamford said that despite the “firmer control of the core experience” of Windows Phone 7, HTC will still bring the functionality to Windows Phone 7. Sense won’t be a full part of the phone as it is with Windows Mobile 6.5 and Android, but the company will “augment” the WP7 UI with the Sense experience.
We first brought you this story back in May when a source at HTC told us that Windows Phone 7 would be receiving the Sense UI despite the operating system’s restrictions. This confused us, and we were close to not even publishing it at all. As we said before, maybe HTC’s partnership with Microsoft will help the mobile giant accomplish this goal, but whether other OEMs will follow in HTC’s footsteps is unclear to us.

The Microsoft Explorer Mini Mouse is easy to set up, works cross-platform, and works on “virtually any surface.” More after the break.

Unboxing
Unboxing the mouse was fairly easy, except for the clips holding the side panels. The shape of the box isn't perfect either, because you have to take out all the plastic and cardboard before you get the mouse.
