HTC is to issue an OS update for the Magic Android phone that’ll upgrade the operating system to version 2.1 – currently the latest version available.

Not only this but the update will also include HTC Sense, which made its debut on the Magic Successor, the HTC Hero. It’s good to see that older devices are still being supported by HTC, as we had a feeling that 1.5 might have been the end of the road for the Magic.

However, here in the UK we’ll most likely have to wait for carriers to catch on and make their own 2.1 update based on HTC’s original one. However, with any luck these will make it to Magic phone by mid-to-late 2010.
