HTC = safer Microsoft from now on.
Obviously they are semi-dropping Android and concentrating on Microsoft.
HTC surely did not have the money to do anything else.

With even the inquirer's "Ipad Mini vs Nexus 7 vs Kindle Fire HD" review failing to mention GPS I'm finding it hard to find 'fair minded press'.
Forget loyalty, how about proper real user useful reporting?
More real reporting can improve things for everyone including Apple users.
We don't need successful dumbed down gadgets winning via very limited reporting.
" is now on a par with other.................
...........Then there's webkit, which permeates the operating system but is developed independently of Android."
It is a near bog standard computer system designed to compete with OS/X and Windows.
No one owns us there which is as much its own problem.
And there is nothing wrong with dated OS.
Why get your smartphone multi crippled by the latest updates?
Half the time it is as if the update is designed to kill your phone.
"That's not how it works.
An button that's 0.5 cm across on iPad 1 is still 0.5 cm across on iPad 3."
But there is no squinty text on the iPad 1, not to mention that your exisiting iPhone apps are purposely limited to make you need a separate new tablet app.
What gadget an app runs on, it should really just adapt.
There was never too much wrong with the cheaper iPads using 1024X768 too.
It means that things are naturally more finger friendly so in fact cheap and cheerful can in fact be better.
There was always some truth in the cheap and cheerful features of the iPad been praised alongside the high tech bits of it. That old iPad screen was one, 1024 X 768 is finger friendly cool.
So at 5" 1024x768 is a good and very web friendly compromise
Samsung's biggest mistake was allowing Apple to take part in the slightly modified designs of the Samsung Exynos range of ARM Socs. Add to that the creative lazy hysteria of the media and one would think they were all Apple designs.
It is only in version A6 where Apple has been the main instigator.
Luckily for Apple buyers , competition from experts like Samsung will eventually drive forward Apple ARM takeup.
So whilst Apple tread water in using Coretex A9 chips, Samsung and others have already moved onto using Cortex A15 chips.
It is all about choice on their terms.
Choose them for your smartphone at your peril.
ARM in full blown Linux is probably what will expand user choice
Apple and MS are happy with cheap ARM and a cheaper bit of Intel for selectively crippled gadgets.
That way they also get to sell real expensive stuff to the lesser victims of fashion.
With Google leading the way in web advertising it is obvious that by removing internet function. web developers will be forced to choose Metro apps for its newly manicured advertising walled garden.
Open is surely only fine if you have the bigger stake in it.
