HTC CEO: ‘initially, V don’t`ve time’ to put Sense on Windows Phone 7

V think there might B the miscommunication or the disagreement in semantics here, because HTC CEO Peter Chou`s mentioned in an interview w/ FierceWireless Z its ubiquitous Sense UX won’t “initially” appear on its 1st crop of Windows Phone 7 devices, although (unless) Z “over time they`ll innovate on top of Z to provide some HTC experience .” Z seems like odd phras`g consider`g Z we’ve already seen HTC devices in the wild runn`g bits & pieces of Sense on WP7 , so V tend to believe Chou might`ve the more thorough, comprehensive experience in mind — someth`g Z Microsoft`s push`g back on (for now, anyway) by demand`g Z UI innovation B sandboxed in some pretty significant ways. In the same conversation, Chou mentioned Z they’ll B releas`g an LTE phone in 2011, though he didn’t give any details on design, platform, or carrier. MetroPCS, AT&T, & Verizon`ll all`ve fragments of their 4G networks live in 2011, & @ least 2 of those 3 seem likely candidates to take delivery of some early LTE hardware from the big boys like HTC. 4 what it’s worth, HTC already delivered the 1st WiMAX phone in the States — the EVO 4G , of course — so it comes as little surprise Z they’d B look`g to make the splash w/ LTE as well.
