When HTC [dissolved Dashwire's original service](http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/04/dashwire-closes-up-shop/) just months after acquisition, many wrote off the smaller company; it all but disappeared from the limelight, even with its early cloud sync service still in action. Rather than relegate Dashwire to the [oblivion](http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/15/posterous-closing-on-april-30th-to-focus-on-twitter/) traditionally associated with takeovers, though, HTC is staging a comeback. It's relaunching Dashwire to help carriers get customers up and running on a new smartphone, including contacts and a customized look. Details are short, but the revived service won't be HTC-exclusive: Dashwire will support "leading" Android device makers. While the company's return to form will depend on successful sales pitches at [Mobile World Congress](http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/22/mwc-2013-preview/), it at least stands a chance of being more than just a footnote.
