Taiwanese handset maker HTC has launched HTCdev, a programme designed to support mobile developers through tools, resources and a community. HTC has also introduced the HTC OpenSense SDK, which will allow developers to harness software and hardware innovations on HTC phones to develop integrated mobile applications and experiences. The HTCdev programme will support developers across the industry and around the world, from individuals to large enterprises. The programme website, HTCdev.com, is scheduled to launch in summer and will feature a resource library of tutorials, best practices, documentation and support. The site will also offer a user feedback channel to HTC for ongoing investments and improvement to the developer toolset and programme resources. The core offering of the programme will be the HTC OpenSense SDK, which will enable Android developers to integrate into the HTC Sense 3.0 experience. The framework will also provide APIs and sample code for 3-D display and the Tablet pen. The HTC OpenSense SDK will be released in parallel with the launch of the HTCdev.com site, and will have regular updates and expansions based on inputs from the developer community. Users can visit HTCdev.com to sign up for a release alert for availability of the HTC OpenSense SDK.
