oh well vpa's are the HTC phones that used by Vodafone in germany, whereas xda's are the HTC phones sold by O2 Germany!!!
no clue what kgb is?

mikechannon said:
It really stems from the very early days when the only PDAs with phones built in were the O2 XDA devices (made by HTC) and that's when the XDA site started. XDA was O2s way of describing a PDA with an Xtra part i.e. the phone hence XDA.
You are correct that now it would perhaps be more accurate to say HTC developers but actually XDA as a term to describe a PDA with phone built in is quite nice and changing the name now would be very confusing. It does mean though, that we have to remind folk we are exclusively for HTC devices (or 95% at least).

Yes, XDA fits very nicley... plus the website is past the point of no return IMO to make such a change.

LMAO!!! very true...

i always wondered why...but came to the same, and seemingly correct conclusion myself

this name is going to keep alive the "xda" brand long after they'll not even be available.

It does make you wonder who exactly IS behind the stage sometimes when you read some of the direct one on one replies to constantly asked repeat questions.

Who owns xda-developers?

I dunno I just got curious out of nowhere, so who created XDA-DEVELOPERS!?

I believe it was started by some thoughtful geeks in the UK where the the first HTC device came out and was called the XDA or XDA Exec or something like that. I'm most certainly glad that they did so.

IIRC, Flar is the head honcho 'round these here parts.
EDIT:spelling.

Well my guess is that the owners are a mix of the most powerful world agencies like NSA & Co ...
Why you'll ask ??
Because everybody knows that XDA Rulez the World

Actually, it's Chuck Norris.

Sweet read.. thank you!

god you all are making me feel ancient OCT. 2005.
you know back then all we had to work with was Windows Mobile *shudder*
yah we didn't even cook roms for symbian.. just windows mobile. it was the clunky way of the future!
back before the "thanks" button and mayspace and youtube... yah we had mobile office. and .5 megapixel camera's
seriously though thing were alot different the devs were less helpful, more self gratification back then. We actually competed since there wasn't really a whole hell of a lot we could do with windows Mobile 3-6

first "xda" device i owned ironically it's how i came to this site and i began cooking custom roms for it and the moto mpx series those were good times

Why such a Muppet?
I think it'll be early December now, as they are going to try and release it just after the HOX + I think.
There is a big discussion on this but I cba find it at the moment Sorry

I'm not a muppet. I just don't understand the obsession of the users here. It will come when it comes whining and waiting here won't change it. While i do admit that i do try to keep up with the news and am regularly on the forum, i have really not much of an expectation of htc to be honest. Either way, it's probably around the corner and there's already a thread about this going on so this is just spam
Whatever

So clearly because it hasn't come out so far in October, the OP assumes it has now been delayed until October 2013? (??.????????????.??????.?dot?)

will come after couple of more months i guess

Isn't one thread enough?

So how does that relate to the guys maturity?
Forget it.
I agree him thinking they meant 2013 is a bit silly, but to tell him when he becomes more mature I think you need to look at yourself, as that isn't a grown up comment in the slightest.

Yes, he does need to grow up. Not only did open a new thread about a subject allready being discussed in a stickie thread he also didnt had nothing new to share, only his rant.
if he wants ppl to listen to his problems then he has to join a support group at his local church.

Listen, Im not argueing with you over someone niether of us know.
I agree with your comment, but your choice of words is not only harsh but irrelivant.
I don't think he needs to "Grow Up" because of his post, thats all I'm saying, a different choice of words may have fit in better.

Why nobody answered his worries or guide him to the proper thread instead of arguing is really beyond me , to op HTC is ****e when it comes to updates, they say something and do another ,they give dates then not bother to respect them .....

I guess I must be experiencing some kind of space-time disturbance, it's still October here.

Threads are for discussion, if its a 'goodbye' thread then that kind of defeats the object as there is nothing to discuss.
Other than what a pointless thread this is. And yes we have free speech in the uk, (though thats debatable). But that doesn't mean I walk down the streets shouting lalalalalalala with my fingers in my ears just because I can.
