A light that confirms the cable is not faulty (I assume they won't light up if the cable is damaged somehow) is not such a bad idea that most of you seem to think.
Yes, I know cables don't break that often, but when they do, it can be a pain to find out that the cable is broken.

Copy of what exactly?

Copy what?

Since when is it up to the OS maker to provide drivers for the hardware?
Either Qualcomm or HTC should provide accelerated drivers, and Im pretty sure the guys at HTC have got the specs on the chip and probably a SDK when they made the deal.

hi-res video support might be too much to ask for but a camera which is pretty much useless without studio lightning is more than fair to ask for.

When ambient light goes down only so much, fps rate drops to such a degree that taking a sharp picture or capture video over 10 fps becomes impossible.

Take a look at this youtube clip.

Ok this is the Touch Dual but its the same issue with all the 7xxx based HTC's
