You(PJ) make a good point about the lawsuits however the fact that the Twitter
and Facebook apps are part of the OS Build and can't be removed is enough of a
big red flag IMHO to make me never to want to buy anything with an HTC brand in
the future. Sadly you can't normally find out this sort of 'problem' until you
actually buy one.
Sure I could root the phone but should I have to do this to remove those silly
apps (that also can't be updated unless it is via an HTC update, yeah right) now
should I? They take up useful RAM at runtime. RAM that HTC are not very generous
with in the first place. RAM that could be used for other more useful apps.
Welcome to the HTC version of the walled Garden perhaps? (Yeah, Grumpy old man
mode is in full force today.)
As for these lawsuits. IMHO, they are all MAD. Mutually Assured Destruction. No
one will ever become the clear winner apart from those good guys (not!) from
Redmond.
I certainly would have liked to buy a Nook util they sold out to MS. That said,
I spent some time looking at and using one last week in San Diego. The lack of
support outside the US made me end up deciding to buy a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1.
Sadly, the only 3g ones I could find in a local retail store were CDMA versions.
Not much use in the rest of the world...

Ubuntu & 'apt-get' are not the answer to Life, The Universe & Everything which
is of course, "42" or is it 1.618?
