From obscurity they rose via Microsoft’s Windows Mobile platform. I’ve always been a fan because frankly they packed in a ton of technology into their devices and then sold them at a reasonable price. Mainly because they signed exclusive deals to the likes of Orange in the UK.
When they started producing Android devices, things really picked up and HTC started making a real name for themselves with the general public. Hackers also enjoyed Android HTC devices because they were more like a PC than anything else. HTC must have understood this when they jumped on the Social media bandwagon…
However they may not have expected the 2 way nature of the early adopters. Here’s their backtracking in action…
First case… HTC decides to lock all there bootloaders on future devices
Then… HTC changes its mind after all the comments on its own Facebook page…
Second case… HTC says the Desire won’t get Gingerbread
Then… HTC backtracks, says the Desire will get Gingerbread after all…
