It's because XDA-dev is an HTC device forum, so most subforums are for HTC devices. You'll note there also aren't forums for Samsung and LG devices.
how comes there's no iphone sub-forum like there is for every other phone on this site?
Thats what I was thinking... Mainly because everyone here is a WinMo Fanboy.
After several years as a WinMo and XDA junkie, I made the switch to an iPhone 4 after my beloved HD2 screen digitizer broke. It was a big step as I hate Apple's closed environment, but I was attracted by the jailbreaking community.
While I miss religiously following ROM updates and Android and other developments, I have been impressed with the iPhone as a device and with its overall experience (yes, the apps really do make a difference).
One thing that bothers me about the iPhone is how relatively small and fragmented its hacking community is. There does not seem to be a central location similar to XDA for WinMo and now Android.
I firmly believe that XDA has the best collection of developers in the world, and frankly, given the size of the iPhone base worldwide, I'm surprised there isn't greater interest in breaking open this powerful device among the community.
(oops, just saw the thread announcing the launch of iphone-developers.com, looks like it is already in the works)
I bet most the people the hate iPhone they probably never used one or had it jalbreak.
Root and jailbreak seem to be the same damn thing for the phones.
I love android and ios. I switch always from htc hd2 and iphone 4 cause i get bored with both
