HTC chairwoman Cher Wang in an interview said her company has considered buying a mobile OS for itself. Following HP's decision to exit webOS hardware and possibly license the platform, the HTC executive acknowledged that the company had discussed the prospect of buying an OS but would "not do it on impulse." She told the Economic Observer that the company thrives on making an OS distinct but that it could do this with its custom Sense interface on top of Android or Windows Phone instead.
