HTC Sense Heads to Windows 7 Mobile Devices Later This Year [Htc Sense]

Even though Microsoft has been strict with reference to what manufacturers can do with the Windows Phone 7 interface, HTC said late last week that the Sense UI would nevertheless find its way onto those devices, perhaps in October.

Reports Forbes:

\” Microsoft has taken firmer control of the core experience [in Windows Phone 7], but we will still innovate,\” Drew Bamford, head of HTC\’s user experience design team, told Forbes. In keeping with him, the forthcoming version of Sense can be quite different from the solution present on the company\’s current Windows Phone 6.5-based devices. The present Sense was designed to integrate with some of the platform\’s core apps. \” We won\’t have the ability to replace as much of the core Windows Phone experience, but we can augment it,\” Bamford says.

The comments fall consistent with what HTC has said of the OS in recent months; mainly, that while they might be unable to change the OS itself, they may certainly add features (hence, \” augment\” ). [Forbes via Softpedia]
