THE CODE DOES NOT WORK.
do you code? well remarked code can have ANYthing and everything.
I go with what came out of the MOUTH Steve Ballmer and co. (repeatedly) over some over-ambitions coder putting worthless code in a product 1 year before a device ships.

ROTFLMAO. Yeah the ONLY reason is a shoolgirl-like reaction... not taking advantage of MAKING HARDWARE REVENUE for a new platform RIPE for the taking.

yeah, because EVERY PATENT is a guaranteed gold-mine and game changing experience for large companies who knee-jerk react like a child.

HTC NEEDs A
CONSTANT STREAM NEW HARDWARE EACH HOLIDAY SEASON AND 9 MONTHS IN BETWEEN... WORLDWIDE!
FWIW HTC is not a "name brand" in the real world.

Sorry your wishful thinking does not change the obvious. HTC - in software terms - has reached a dead end like many software vendors Pre-Windows95. Anyone remember (or use) the (nice) GEM interface by DRI? Prolly not.
HTC now must differentiate itself as a HARDWARE vendor first and foremost.
The non-Apple/Bberry smartphone audience will BENEFIT when the first retail device does not need it's software to help sell said device. This is coming xmas 2010
