There’s nothing like a bit of class-action to goad a corporation to respond to allegations of wrong-doing. In response to claims from the HTC Class Action Organization that HTC devices using Qualcomm’s MSM7500 and MSM7200 chipsets didn’t perform as well as they could in terms of graphics acceleration , HTC has issued a public statement: “HTC believes the overall value of its devices based on their combination of functionality and connectivity exceeds their ability to play or render high-resolution video. These devices do still provide a rich multimedia experience comparable to that of most smartphones and enable a variety of audio and video file formats” It seems that HTC believes that their devices have delivered on exactly what they promised - which doesn’t include stellar graphics performance that leverages the ATI Imageon hardware lying dormant inside certain HTC smartphones. We’re sure HTC customers don’t exactly see it that way. Furthermore, HTC says that they have: “Plans to include video acceleration hardware in future video-centric devices that will enable high-resolution video support.” In other words, HTC smartphones have delivered on their advertised performance. If you want better graphics performance, you’ll just have to buy a new HTC smartphone. Now, if we were HTC, we might just cough up the necessary cheddar and give our customers what they want. Otherwise, there may be less customers willing to buy the next-generation of graphics-powerhouses from HTC. Even if HTC is the cat’s meow of Windows Mobile smartphone manufacturers. Hey HTC, do what’s right and make use of that ATI Imageon hardware. There are a lot of pissed off customers out there that are swearing to never touch HTC hardware ever again.
