HTC: Bootloader confirmed on new smartphones

HTC finally surrenders to the will of the people, the Taiwan home after an attempt to strength with the implementation of an operating system more complex to change, it was arressa the overwhelming power of geeks and future releases will provide the smartphone with a bootloader for easy change. This will make the new HTC much more customizable than any other smartphone in circulation, with the possibility to change any settings or other graphics, developing a movement of custom OS that could truly gigantic proportions, comparable to phenomena such as ringtones, themes and screensever Customizable, become easy to create and distribute.

Clever move by HTC that allows users press one of the variables that most who buy a smartphone, namely the degree of customization to reach, the same rumor that HTC may periodically promote their custom OS officers and reduce the risk of damage to custom operating systems on the quality not suitable.

The risk is in fact that many, though not in a position to produce, publish and make available for download fake copies of OS damaging the terminals of users who ingrari of errors that can run into trouble of course the warranty does not cover, developing a economic damage to the user recently.

Obviously this is the worst case, the granting of HTC but many more positive sides than negative, which is sure to bring the Asian manufacturer to take a further step towards the top end of the market by capturing a slice of users even wider. Unlike as many may think, more and more users looking for every day in every detail to make their own smartphone, with themes and applications showing their personality and lifestyle fit.

The prospect of more attractive ventilated after this declaration came through Facebook is the ability to change the operating system as standard, if it were to be left via free users in this area, everyone will be able to decide which operating system is the most appropriate, by downloading and installing it without the above problems.

A true revolution that we do not know if it will be possible, in fact, expect new details on this point, not addressed in the brief statement by HTC, which for the moment has taken an important commitment but do not know the dates of entry implementation of the new trend. Not everyone, however, run into the same direction as HTC, other manufacturers like Apple and Motorola have in fact claimed to be working to design a new operating system more difficult to change so that users can not provide tarot versions of the operating system .

A hypothesis that makes its way is the possibility of revising the same situation on tablet, hard though that may materialize in the short term, given the difficulty of manufacturers to provide a competitive operating system and bug-free, fully dedicated to these products, where this possibility seems destined to remain just an idea and nothing more.

Innovations not only in terms of hardware, including in the sotfware producers are all trying to grab a larger slice of the market always, we'll see if that will happen, or really not going to be a variable that much affect the balance market, should that not be the case, we could see a chain reaction of free bootloader also by other manufacturers, that to equalize the amount of options would be forced to grant customing their systems for now impassable and the structure super protected.
