They never gave me a poison. I have never owned an HTC device that wasn't able to be rooted or hard spl. But keep saying it if you want. It doesn't make it true, but it seems to make you happy so whatever.

No, that isn't it. They are allowing Sense to be modded, and apps to be written that have a Sense like interface, using code provided by HTC.

The page says a lot more than that.

Plenty of basis. I guess there is no basis if you just make up your own version of the facts, sure. But here in the real world, HTC has pledged to leave all the bootloaders unlocked, provide a website for the modding community, and even assist the modding community by providing code, APIs, and SDKs.

No, I am not going to say the iphone appeals to me. And if you really believe that what HTC is doing is harmful to the dev community, you're just crazy. There is no other way to describe it. HTC officially commits to unlocked bootloaders, agrees to not just allow Sense to be hacked up, but actually assist with it, provide a place to host cooked ROM's, API's, SDK's, source code, etc, and you actually think that is harmful to the modding community? Crazy is the only way to describe that. Well, I guess if you are just an HTC hater (which lets face it, you are) then it might be harmful to YOUR modding community because a lot of them will probably be flocking to HTC phones.

You are absolutely NOT putting for the same information as me. You said HTC was merely catching up at best, to what everyone else did several years ago. I then linked to the HTCdev website and asked for the Samsung equivalent. Of course, it doesn't exist.

There have been at least 10 such meets in the last 12 months, all put on, set up, hosted, etc, by HTC.

This isn't some "top secret" thing sent via PM on xda. This is public, HTC encouraging everyone to come, and talk to them in person. And if you look at their facebook and twitter pages, they respond to pretty much every tweet or message. Heck, their CEO personally responded via facebook and twitter to the locked bootloader drama. Not only that, but he also responded to everyone that emailed him about it. Not only that, but they just created a freaking website for the community which will be very similar to this PPC Geeks site (but only for HTC phones) and will be paid for by HTC, with HTC employees putting out all sorts of info in an official manner. There is no other OEM even close to this at the moment. HTC continues to set the standard.
