We all know HTC has seen better days. In fact, Samsung is pretty much eating the Taiwanese company’s lunch as we speak and HTC had to do something about it. Their move was to cut R&D costs, but not in the way you would think. Instead of laying off people, they required them to work longer hours without being paid for overtime.
So engineers on their end decided to do something about it, sending out an entry letter to the CEO Peter Chou. Their demands are reasonable as they can’t be working for 12 hours without being paid extra forever. Perhaps the upcoming M7 launch will change HTC’s fortune, perhaps not. The way I see it, a lot depends on Samsung and its upcoming Galaxy S IV smartphone. If the Korean company manages to impress us yet again, HTC is in big trouble.
In any case, we like to see HTC (and all other) engineers getting a decent pay for the hard work they put it…

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
