HTC launches HTCdev.com

HTC launched HTCdev.com, a website dedicated to providing users with the tools, advice, and community they need to pursue the possibilities, according to Android Police.

The vast majority of the site’s content has to do with the OpenSense SDK, which should be launching, sometime in the future. HTC doesn’t go into details about what it does, stating only that it will allow developers to write applications better integrated into Sense UI.

Specifically, HTC notes that devs will be able to access a "Tablet pen API" for the Flyer/View 4G as well as a "Stereoscopic 3D display API" for the EVO 3D. The company also tweeted out that OpenSense will provide sample code and plug-ins as well as APIs specific to Sense.

HTC also launched the HTCpro service, which encompasses everything from mobility consulting and management services to training and app development. For example, if one is a CEO of a business and wants a mobile app, HTCpro employees can help build a program through what appears to be a series of one-on-one sessions.

HTCpro.com claims that HTC will work with people regardless of what platform they are developing for – even if it’s iOS, BlackBerry OS, or Symbian.

HTCdev.com also promises that HTC will deliver "tools, tutorials, blogs, and events" for developers in the future. Intriguing to say the least – and a huge leap forward for a company that just a few weeks ago was doing everything in its power to keep devs off its devices.
