i totally agree. what's the point of having decent hardware in these devices if there are no software to take advantage of it! it's effectively buying hardware without using it. can you imagine buying a graphics card for your PC and using generic windows VGA drivers, letting the CPU draw your desktop at seconds-per-frame? of course not, you bought the hardware because you expect that performance. so with HTC not providing the software drivers to hook into the hardware, you effectively have a device that is using the CPU for everything. not exactly the reason you shelled out hard earned cash for that multimedia hardware-equipped phone is it?
imagine buying a ferrari and found it had a volvo engine inside....how is it legal? actually maybe a hybrid electric/gasoline car with one engine disconnected would be a better analogy.
this is illegal false advertising and companies shouldn't be allowed to get away with it.
