While most companies have some sort of preview program to
let consumers see unreleased versions of its app and phones (like Microsoft’s
Windows Insider Program), these programs are usually meant for developers.
HTC is trying to break the mold and get a broader audience
by launching its own preview program, aptly named HTC Preview.
Interested individuals need only to answer a short questionnaire
on the company’s website. Questions include the kind of smartphone the user
currently has, top features they use on a smartphone and the type of
accessories they use with their phones to name a few.
As part of the program, users will gain access to unreleased
apps and even devices such as phones and accessories. They will be required to
provide feedback on certain things depending on the project they’re matched
with.
Of course there will be a non-disclosure agreement that
prevents participants of the program from sharing any information they might
encounter during the program.
