HTC To Users: Maybe Some Sort Of Video Driver For You
Posted by Jon Westfall in "NEWS" @ 09:34 PM
"TyTN II owners, put your cash back in your wallet -- for a minute, anyway. CEO Peter Chou himself along with HTC's European VP have allegedly both gone on record saying that accelerated video drivers are in the works for an unspecified number of devices afflicted by the now-legendary performance issues. Independently, though, we've received word from HTC that that's not quite true. While the company is definitely banging through some improvements in the way video is handled on some of its recent touchscreen models, it turns out that there's technically no driver involved for the dormant Imageon circuitry; rather, the company's crack team of engineers has discovered performance enhancements to the existing software stack that they hope to roll out in the not-too-distant future"
Well, not actual Drivers, but enhancements appear to be on the way. Earliest estimates are March, but given the track record (anybody remember the A2DP issue?), it may be more like April, or July, or October :mrgreen:
