Samsung seems to be the
go-to company these days when it comes to mobile OS acquisition rumors, but now it looks like HTC's on the proverbial
hot seat. According to an interview by
The Economic Observer in China, chairwoman Cher Wang has affirmed that HTC is at least
mulling the idea: "We have given it thought and we have discussed it internally, but we will not do it on impulse." The report goes on to make strong mention of HP's recently-backstabbed
webOS platform, but stops short of suggesting that it's the only OS in the running. Continuing on, Wang stated: "We can use any OS we want. We are able to make things different from our rivals on the second or third layer of a platform. Our strength lies in understanding an OS, but it does not mean that we have to produce an OS." Of course, that's a cheerleading session surrounding the outfit's polarizing Sense overlay, and we're guessing that webOS would eventually look a heck of lot different under HTC's control. On second thought, maybe Wang's
actually trying to acquire iOS -- she sure seems to
love those Apple stores!
