That&#8217;s&#8230; kind of a big deal<\/a>.<br><em>This is strange to me. HTC is the second largest Android manufacturer and one of the top mobile manufacturers. That should mean a lot of WP7 devices moving. No matter. More interesting is HTC&#8217;s positive outlook on WP7.

The future is here&#8230; in the palms of poor children in India. This is just one of many waves in the revolution of the brain.
