Htc logo can be a button

[BiGsMiLeSKyLe]

Hey since I didn't see this on the forums, I wanted to post it since it seemed like a stupid idea for HTC to put their logo inbetween 2 capacitive buttons while the logo having no function. People at XDA have found that being that the logo is part of the touchscreen they found that it would respond to touch input, and are working on a kernel to get it to be a third button. I think this is awesome and am hoping HTC will integrate this into maybe an update.

Here are links to the stories

Excellent! Not surprising though, seems like it would have been more of a hassle for production to cut out a section of the touch screen behind the logo.

After looking through the links it looks pretty slim to me. In fact at a few points different posters said that it was, "impossible". I would love to see it though......

You'd think HTC would have just made that the home button in the first place

Do I smell a solution to the menu bar issue?
