Yeah I was hoping it would hit in ICS, with having the awesome new theme, but it never happened.

That is a million dollar idea IMO

They’ll never do that. They might do the opposite though. It makes a lot more sense since they want the majority to use Sense.

Even better, make it free to apply on an HTC phone but any other phone you would have a 1 time charge. I think that’s a great idea.

If you need a special chip to run Sense 4, why does it work perfectly well on the Rezound with a custon ICS/Sense 4 ROM?

I’d bet that the product/program managers decided that because the developers said it wouldn’t be worth the time to port 4.0 to older phones. It depends on the organization, but I’m sure the developers had at least some opportunity to give feedback regarding the update and what it entails.

So ultimately, it’s probably a little bit of both.

After Droid Incredible, even though that is the smoothest android phone until Nexus, I am going to go to the store and say “Other than HTC, show me other Android Phones”. Never pleased with Sense nor HTC’s quality service. Also on the side note: Camera got dust inside and can’t clean it (cheap Material!). What happened to the soft keys? Nobody asked that question? On top of that why do we have to have a long Menu soft key since the others are all hard keys? Keyboard on Nexus is too good, HTC is not even close. Nope nope nope nope!!!!

I still think that android needs to have a custom skin applying option so that way we can just buy them from the market.

Ex. I go into my settings menu and once section is skins in it is stock, skin from phone manufacture, and then an option to download more from the market. Each can add extra features (Give them as much control as they can get now) and on top of this then phones could be updated faster because all phones would be stock

That is something I would like to see even though the amount of control they would have to have to do what they already do would be a lot of work.

Do NOT look at me like that while you’re tossing one off, Drew!

because in professional software development, the developers don’t have a say in what features get put into the product. that type of stuff is decided by product/program managers

I was about to add that too, but then I thought “they still got paid to update the phones to Sense 3.6″. 3.6 has some changes in its own right, so why not go ahead and add in all of 4.0′s features?
