i think even this is true, it's gonna take a while for the market to adopt. existing HTC customers will still require support & services for WMx. OS shift is a major thing, not an over-nite exercise, it requires proper planning and there will be transition period.

Damn, then I will switch to O2

But I hope HTC extends its platform, and not switch platform. For example, having HTC devices that run Linux, HTC devices that run Windows, and HTC devices that run Symbian.

lol, it already has windows, so it MIGHT still provide support for it. but i'm eager for linux version, that'll be damn cool. but symbian, sux bad, Nokia proves it with super unstable OS, frequent hangings and bugs. Unless, HTC can come up with a more stable symbian...

btw, i think o2 manufactured by HTC also leh....no?

O2 Asia phone is made by Quanta or gigabyte now..

maybe thay will provide 2 separate roms for the device..
1 windows 1 whatever thay come up with

btw o2 now is made by quanta,gigabyte and asus i not mistaken

I eagerly to see linux mobile os ability, if they tend to make stable os go on. Even my old desktop KDE somehow hanged.

linux uses less memory to run, no? if so, it might be a good point.

yea, i eager for linux as well. also, less virus problems and all as well. but then again, i wonder if it'll affect current applications and games for the current pda.

HTC won't completely dump Windows Mobile for sure

now there r some which r using linux like motorola .... but not sure what is HTC strategy

motorola is using linux? for example??

motorola Ming

for WM got. my friend got. he loves to make/do stuff with virus wan. i said dun have, then he ask me to connect my pda to his laptop he say he gimme virus. and sure enough, i can no longer access my memory card, cannot detect memory card. also cannot access start menu

There are quite a few designer viruses out there for WM but only very few (or none) at large capable of spreading widely.

kaiser better be on WM6.....

i think they will still stick with windows in the end.

they just want to tell people that they will also explore other platforms.

yeah..i also think they will have 2 os / firmware to choose.

doubt it like that....most probably some new products with wm and others with another firmware. not logical two different os for the same product

higher end range of products using windows, while lower end range of products using other OS. XD
