Perhaps. ;) But news is news. A lot of the reason why these HTC Universal announcements have come in one big hit is because vendors were locked into a certain timeframe thanks to HTC. If I recall correctly, HTC shipped out the base units to the OEMs all at the same time, so you can only expect them all to release it around the same time too.

Don't worry. I'm sure we'll have a shiny new device to report on in the near future.

Very much agreed. The news does tend to be 'clumpy', but that's the way it is. We can only report on what's sent to us and NDAs also tend to expire at the same time. So, it's like busses. You wait ages for one and then three turn up together. Such is life. :)
