HTC Open Sources Sense UI, Dev Program Later This Summer

By

“The new program, known as HTCdev will allow interested
developers to develop applications and new widgets for Sense UI
along with allowing for more extensive modification with newly
opened APIs for the forthcoming stylus and 3.0 SDK. Previously, HTC
has restricted Sense for its own devices under the Apache license

move to open source Sense also follows another more developer
friendly move by the company as it previously announced earlier
this month that it would release all new devices going forward with
unlocked bootloaders, embracing the Android hacking community.”
