From The Verge:
Pretty interesting. HTC has fallen on some pretty hard times, and I'm sure they realized they can't compete in the Android arena full bore for much longer if Samsung continues to clean its clock the way it has in the past year. HTC will start to have to rely on Windows Phone to get sales up since Samsung isn't really playing in that field (the ATIV S is such a half hearted attempt) and they are now getting a marketing push from Microsoft. Very interesting indeed.
Apple and HTC have announced a settlement that resolves all of their patent disputes. The agreement is a "global settlement" that dismisses all of Apple and HTC's complaints under a ten-year license agreement, which covers current and future patents held by each company.
