Huh? Which HTC? They have a few dozen models, you know... Surely you don't mean something like this is a "clone" of the iPhone?

HTC phones named in Apple's design patent lawsuit:

HTC & Google Nexus 1


HTC Touch pro 2


HTC myTouch


HTC Droid Eris


HTC Hero

Your image is like the data in the article that included the Chinese non-Android OS data to inflate the Android numbers... Cherry picked to make your point. You showed a minority model of an HTC phone, one they sell very few of, when the majority of their phones are more of the above styles, copied after the iPhone look and feel.

WHAT? Are you seriously daft? Those are CLONES of the iPhone, as originally claimed? Please show me where HTC cloned the iPhone, and where they are being sued for cloning the iPhone. Please - that was the claim made and challenged. You want to change to a different strawman, I'm not going there.

It was claimed that "the HTC is a clone of the iPhone" - so show me where this is the case, please. Or you can keep trying to change the argument to something different, just so you can try to spin as you desire.

Moving goalposts and changing the subject are actions that Democrats and liberals do when they're shown to be wrong - I thought conservatives were better than that...

Oh, and the HTC Touch Pro2? That’s not even an Android device - it’s Windows Mobile! Really Swordmaker, you’re just grasping at straws for some bizarre reason...

A Windows Mobile phone with sliding keyboard as proof the HTC Android phones are clones of the iPhone. Seriously? Way over-reaching on that one...
