Kicking off day two of Uplinq, Qualcomm's developer conference, the keynote from HTC's CEO Peter Chou focused on the company's design philosophy.
"We focus on a holistic user experience, in terms of how people work and live and stay connected," Chou said.
"Which is why we put so much effort into HTC Sense - to make technology work for you."
Pointing to the importance of games, Chou introduced Steve Perlman, CEO of game streaming service Onlive, which has a strategic agreement with HTC.
Saying that he couldn't do a live demo of its streaming gameplay service, because of the amount of internet traffic at the conference, Perlman showed a video of the service running on the HTC Flyer tablet and the wireless Onlive controller to play Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood.
That vision thing
Agreeing with Qualcomm CEO Paul Jacob's opening keynote, Chou got a little visionary.
"The mobile revolution is putting a computer in every pocket," he said.
"Smartphones are bringing a new era, a new civilisation on a global scale, and it's happening very fast."
Big bang
Of course, as the CEO of public company, Chou had to mention some numbers. HTC sold 25 million smartphones in 2010; it's the fifth largest global phone brand.
In Q1 2011, it's already so 9.7 million smartphones, up almost three-fold.
Yet, even as an phone manufacturer, Chou was keen to point out that it was content developers who really push the market.
"We're entering a golden age of mobile development." he said.
"I like to see how people like you use these technologies to realise what is next. We want to drive what is next and that's mobile."
A helping hand
Building on this, Chou announced HTC Dev, a developers program that includes a web portal, SDK, documentation and source code, including 3D tech - something Gameloft has already used in its Spider-Man game.
HTC Dev will also include HTC OpenSense, so developers can integrate HTC's Sense UI within their applications.
The website (ww.htcdev.com) will go live in future weeks.

I would like to ask you for some small donation. Any help will be higly apreciated.
We made a "plan" to raise 16.000€ in about 8 weeks time. I have asked everywhere i could and i am also hoping i might get some support here as well.
We are also making a competition that is taking place at 02. october 2011 - everyone is very welcome to come and see it - it will be a whitecollar Boxing event of staff that is involved. there will be more than 700 people at present - watching us fighting against eachother the fight will take place at LOUIS FITZGERALD HOTEL IN DUBLIN - Naas Road.
I hope the admin will fully understand and any futher info can be presented. Any details about the competition can also be published. I can provide my name and personal details and i can promise that all funds will be going directly to the charities on the day of the event.
I will be really happy if someone could help a bit. Its not big deal and it takes only few seconds to donate. Even few cents would make the diference. Believe me!
Thanks for reading
Best regards
Ed
