HTC Defends Itself, Says Apple Is Mistaken
Number of innovative HTC Smartphones:
I'm for competition, but HTC needs to be brought out back and shot between the eyes.
The industry has recognized HTC's contributions through a variety of awards including Fast Company's 2010 Top 50 Most Innovative Companies and MIT Technology Review's 2010 50 Most Innovative Companies. The GSMA also recently awarded the HTC Hero as the "Best Phone of 2009."
Some of HTC's technology firsts include:
First Windows PDA (199๐
First Windows Phone (June 2002)
First 3G CDMA EVDO smartphone (October 2005)
*First gesture-based smartphone (June 2007)*
First Google Android smartphone (October 200๐
First 4G WIMAX smartphone (November 200๐
HTC's "innovation" is why Smartphones took so long to catch on.

That's what you say about every company except Apple, and maybe Palm, and it's getting old pretty quick...
Whether its HTC, Nokia, Samsung, LG, Motorola, RIM, or any of the others, you seem to hate on them all except for your beloved Apple.
!!Droid!!
Isn't a phone more than a phone to a lot of us here on PS?
I think Nokia was once an excellent phone manufacturer that has become insanely lazy.
I think RIM is the same, though their product is still better than Nokia's.
And there's a special place for HTC. They are hands down the worst manufacturer on the planet.

You only think that because they pose the biggest threat to Apple.
*sigh*
I hope it ends a bloody mess.
That works OK for them though, because most of their customers are just all giggly to be getting an Apple product, and will gladly make excuses on their behalf.
Pleasant interface, though.
Touch Flo 3D or the newer
Sense UI don't even think of them as WinMo phones.
HOPEFULLY they have Oper Min or Mobile or Skyfire loaded, cause pocket IE isn't a POS!!!
HTC wasn't even the first manufacturer to do it - Palm made some modifications back with their Treo lineup, and of course in the smartphone realm of things the Palm world has long seen it.
And quite frankly, that solution honestly should never have been acceptable in the first place. That's why a comparatively anemic Blackberry was a far more powerful tool than the supposed swiss army knife HTC bricks.
First and foremost, Mr. Coyote, you cannot say you are in favor of competition, then proceed to tell every competitor that you personally dislike that they should be shot between the eyes. (Your words, not mine). IF you really favor competition, you would see that HTC, LG, and Samsung have as much right to touch tech as your little baby, Apple. Not to mention the FACT that Apple HAD to step up its quality (3g & 3gs) BECAUSE of their competition. Palm may have been around before HTC, but to Apple, touch tech was unimaginable when HTC was using it for PDA's. So, Apple has NO room to complain.
Second, I'd like to go on record saying that, thus far, I don't really care for HTC myself. I am NOT an overzealous fan seeking retribution. (ar...

becasue they did this so effictively that they squeezed almost every other manufacturer out of the windows space. Now watch while they do the same with android. And this is tiny little htc we;re talking about here, not samsunt.
In this market segment, in terms of innovation per dollar spent, they've go to be number one.
Sometimes I just dont understand people.
Apple, even though they make a good product, is losing ground to competition with Android being the big push. Whether you like Android or hate it(and we all know your stand), history is repeating itself by Android taking hold of the phone market share. Just as Windows did with computers. Criticizing Android, is not going to change anything. It's here to stay and gaining popularity very rapidly.
HTC is currently the central hub to the Android OS. Apple knows this and is going to do anything in its power to slow the process of deploying their competition.
