#4 - You're (basically) correct. The TyTN is the HTC-branded successor of the "Wizard" reference design. The TyTN's reference design is codenamed "Hermes," so to really nit-picky about it, you would say the Hermes is the successor of the Wizard.
#5 - HTC is a Taiwanese designer and manufacturer of PDAs and smartphones, particularly Windows Mobile devices. HTC re-brands and sells its devices to other vendors and carriers around the globe, including UTStarcom.
Take the Sprint UTStarcom PPC-6700 (a reference design called the "Apache"), for example: the PPC-6700 was designed and manufactured by HTC on behalf of UTStarcom, which then sold it to Sprint (and subsequently Verizon as the XV6700). In that particular case, UTStarcom is acting like a VAR (value added reseller), though the company designs and manufacturers its own products, as well.
