code from Sense in 2009 is WORTHLESS unless you see it ripped from a wp7 device this fall. seems like WISHFUL thinking or just wm6.5x code.
Also don't shoot the messenger... HTC's huge google push is an obvious reaction to what MS no doubt told them over and over under NDA (to paraphrase you're not F'n up wp7s with your stuff) 
Finally, it's NOT speculation to see HTC has painted themselves into a corner with Sense and Motorola's revival hurts them further as a hardware vendor pretending to be software vendor. |
1. how is code from 2009 worthless? If anything it shows a continued partnership microsoft has with one of its strongest investors - HTC which has overwhelming support not just nationally but internationally as well.
2. The only reason why there is such a huge push from google to HTC is because of microsoft being tight lipped about what will happen with OEM manufacturing. If anything, if you connect the dots (new htc patent + wp7) you can argue pretty well that HTC is waiting to implement wp7 with their own sense. As HTC has stated on their website.
Eric Lin has constantly stated the relationship microsoft and htc has. Microsoft has worked with OEMs extensively to create the best product. I think that HTC is biding its time for a little bit and showing new devices for the fall and winter. So while there is a big android push, that won't be the case come fall for the top of the line devices
3. If anything, the patent that I linked to means they haven't painted themselves in a corner and are evolving sense just as htc always evolved their platforms
