When it comes to most things (i.e. birthdays, jury summons, flat tires), we hate surprises. But if it has to do with mobile technology, we live for the suspense. An invitation from HTC has extended a very cryptic, or perhaps understated, request: "Join us to see what's next".
The event, scheduled for April 12th in London, will take place at 1:30 PM BST, or 8:30 AM EST. Engadget has keenly pointed out that the event takes place at the same time as the Microsoft MIX 2011 developer meeting is taking place. But it's doubtful that there's any correlation.
We admit that the background image HTC chose might merely be a captivating image they found to pique our interest, but we just love to speculate: Perhaps the bulging water/screen surface is indicative of the EVO 3D's European launch? It could also be for the HTC Pyramid. Would anyone care to venture a guess as to the 'what's next'?
