Last week, the Institute of Software Chinese Academy of Sciences presented its own operating system named COS, developed in collaboration with Shanghai Laintong.
The main purpose of its creation is stated desire to deprive foreign products of the unlimited power that they have on the mobile OS market China. But what if we were shown in commercials China Operating System - no more than a stolen alpha version of HTC Sense 6.0 or shell based on it ?
Immediately after entering the market under its own HTC brand headed for innovation , it is in them, the company saw an opportunity to attract new customers and a way to create new products. It is a fashionable word now refers not only hardware but also software . It is thanks to the desire to innovate and improve the usability first appeared TouchFlo, and then Sense. Proprietary shell HTC has long been considered the best , and with an annual output of new versions of the company managed to maintain its relevance , changing the design and introducing new features . This year, HTC Sense must submit 6 , which will be installed on top of Android 4.4 KitKat on a smartphone codenamed M8.
The exact dates of the beginning of work on the latest version of the shell firm no, but it's safe to say that working on it for many months . The first serious rumors about her appeared in September of last year , during a scandal involving allegations against Thomas Chiena (Thomas Chien), the then Vice President HTC product . It was alleged that he and several accomplices (also held senior positions in the company) tried to bring through front companies large sums of budgets HTC. The prosecution has said that Chien also stole the source code of the preliminary version of the next Sense and sold them to a Chinese company. Wines of the former vice president and accomplices was later proved.
EPrice known Taiwanese edition suggests that it is stolen , Thomas Chien materials and served as a prototype COS. And the developers of the system themselves, and did not try to hide it. HTC Attentive fans may have noticed in the commercial coincidence of many interface elements with those that can be seen in Sense. This is especially noticeable on the icon in the status bar . This version is easy to attribute existed before rumors of the HTC participation in the development of Chinese OS and even today the company doling out answers . Perhaps lawyers and technical experts of the Taiwanese manufacturer has studied COS, to apply for its developers to court.
Of course, all this is speculation until only supported demos COS and actual inaction on the part of HTC. Manufacturer from Taiwan responded by COS, but it looks more like an excuse.
