IT World wrote:HTC, which just announced it would stick with Google and keep running Android on its best phones even though Google just bought one HTC's main competitors, continues the trend started by Samsung this week of needling Google by doing things that make it easier for people to mess with Android.
Samsung hired the founder and chief developer of the most popular developer of Android-modification firmware to work on its smartphone OS development team with the goal, he said in a Facebook update, of "making Android more awesome."
Google has been trying to lock Android down more, lately, in addition to buying Motorola for reasons that are cloudy but might include the need to stave off potential patent-trolling from Motorola if Google didn't come through with some love.

Nah Ron I have sworn off of HTC and refuse to go back to them.
I will consider Samsung since they have taken on the Cynogen developer. I expect good things to be coming from Samsung in the very near future...

Meh. I really liked Android in the beginning but it completely lost it's appeal to me. If I HAD to switch from iOS it would be to WP7.
iOS and especially the iPhone hardware is still tops to me though.
