Could HTC's rise to smartphone-fandom be slowly ending?

Since the Android boom began, one smartphone manufacturer has led the pack, surpassing other OEMs with superbly manufactured wares and a highly robust custom user-interface. Taiwanese company HTC has seen nothing but rising profit margins and sales since adopting Google’s mobile operating system three years ago. Yet despite this profound success, the company has expressed that it expects little in the way of record breaking sales headed into the final quarter of 2011.

HTC HD7 (T-Mobile) review

We know we’re a bit late to the game with this one but recent advancements in the world of Windows Phone 7 really sparked our interest in the platform again.

Lead MobileNotifier Developer Scooped up by Apple

Notifications on the iPhone and other iOS devices have been a riot mess for quite sometime now. We have seen a barrage of utilities and applications developed for those willing to take the plunge into jailbreak fandom, the most promising and unobtrusive system being MobileNotifier. In fact, some may remember our original article on the matter.
