Why or When will HTC move to VGA resolution on all of it's devices??

When is HTC Cruise coming?

When will HTC Shift be officially available??]]>Dec 10th 2007 12:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/10/the-engadget-interview-peter-chou-ceo-of-htc/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/10/the-engadget-interview-peter-chou-ceo-of-htc/When will HTC put VGA screens on all their devices?
The second would probably be

Last but by no means least -
Is there a reason you don't put full GPS units on your your phones instead of those AGPS - is that a requirement by Sprint and Verizon or a choice on your part?]]>Dec 10th 2007 12:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/10/the-engadget-interview-peter-chou-ceo-of-htc/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/10/the-engadget-interview-peter-chou-ceo-of-htc/Dec 22nd 2007 3:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/10/the-engadget-interview-peter-chou-ceo-of-htc/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/10/the-engadget-interview-peter-chou-ceo-of-htc/Dec 10th 2007 12:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/10/the-engadget-interview-peter-chou-ceo-of-htc/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/10/the-engadget-interview-peter-chou-ceo-of-htc/]]>Dec 10th 2007 12:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/10/the-engadget-interview-peter-chou-ceo-of-htc/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/10/the-engadget-interview-peter-chou-ceo-of-htc/Dec 10th 2007 12:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/10/the-engadget-interview-peter-chou-ceo-of-htc/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/10/the-engadget-interview-peter-chou-ceo-of-htc/Dec 10th 2007 12:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/10/the-engadget-interview-peter-chou-ceo-of-htc/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/10/the-engadget-interview-peter-chou-ceo-of-htc/How come you didn't do this for the de la vega interview?

A couple of things I would have changed
1 VGA screen would be sweet
2 a couple more hard buttons - one in the center on the left side would have been nice for voice command
3 Mini SD is a pain in the butt to get to - make it have the same type of access cover all the other units have - without having to take your phone apart.
4 put in a full GPS unit
5 improve the battery life - better battery, OLED screen - timer for BT - on and off - anything that can be tweaked.
6 include the tiny LED - so helpful to use as a flashlight - include the flashlight app so we don't have to wait for a developer to access the camera flash. The cameras are pretty much useless due to the lens having to be so small but a lot of people noticed my phone doesn't have a flash - they love the flashlight apps.

Those items I listed as suggestions are not put downs - the Touch is REALLY a GREAT phone in my opinion but these tweaks could make it killer.]]>Dec 10th 2007 1:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/10/the-engadget-interview-peter-chou-ceo-of-htc/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/10/the-engadget-interview-peter-chou-ceo-of-htc/
I wish, for once, that we'd see someone in power take the carriers to the mat for their totally inept and restrictive U.S. "strategies."

Yeah right. Wasn't it HTC that Microsoft gave the technology they nicked from Sendo to?

Their smartphones have a small fraction of the market when compared to Nokia and the Blackberries and their "me too" response to the iPhone is pretty poor.]]>Dec 10th 2007 1:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/10/the-engadget-interview-peter-chou-ceo-of-htc/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/10/the-engadget-interview-peter-chou-ceo-of-htc/Dec 10th 2007 1:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/10/the-engadget-interview-peter-chou-ceo-of-htc/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/10/the-engadget-interview-peter-chou-ceo-of-htc/

as for the interview part i think u guys could do with a bit of editing.the interview on here was bit too detailed and kindof like a real 121 conversation.it must be ur style but jus sharing my thoughts.

oh and good work getting hold of som1 so high profile.

Now if it was me, I would have asked a lot of other questions, not just about Android.

Questions:
1. You like to make a portfolio of devices. What categories of features do you think are most important: GPS, large displays, keyboard, wireless, novel displays such as flexible displays, fast units with low battery, software interface in line with iPhone innovation and so on. What combinations are critical? Where are we heading?
2. Where do you see yourself in 3 or 5 years time? Would you have many Windows Mobiles along with your custom made phones. In your eyes what would be the "true value" that you offer to consumers. (because he talked about value)
3. How are you going to compete with iphone. Does Apple even matter?
4. If you were not restricted by the wishes of operators, what kind of a device would you make.

I am getting carried away. There are so many wonderful questions you can ask the great man.
Bit disappointed with the questions that were asked really. I had higher expectations from Engadget for this great opportunity they had. ]]>Dec 10th 2007 3:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/10/the-engadget-interview-peter-chou-ceo-of-htc/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/10/the-engadget-interview-peter-chou-ceo-of-htc/Dec 10th 2007 4:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/10/the-engadget-interview-peter-chou-ceo-of-htc/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/10/the-engadget-interview-peter-chou-ceo-of-htc/Dec 10th 2007 8:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/10/the-engadget-interview-peter-chou-ceo-of-htc/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/10/the-engadget-interview-peter-chou-ceo-of-htc/Dec 10th 2007 4:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/10/the-engadget-interview-peter-chou-ceo-of-htc/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/10/the-engadget-interview-peter-chou-ceo-of-htc/
Not word for word, but the questions felt like this:
Isn't Android totally awesome?
Isn't Android going to make HTC totally badass?
Isn't Android going to save the world?
Isn't Android the second, no third coming of Jebus after the Iphone?

How about asking questions that don't contain just your own viewpoints?]]>Dec 10th 2007 4:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/10/the-engadget-interview-peter-chou-ceo-of-htc/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/10/the-engadget-interview-peter-chou-ceo-of-htc/Dec 11th 2007 6:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/10/the-engadget-interview-peter-chou-ceo-of-htc/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/10/the-engadget-interview-peter-chou-ceo-of-htc/
