It wasn't long ago that HTC bootloader unlock utility was released, to unlock the company's locked phones. Now, continuing its commitment to mod-lovers and those who appreciate freedom, HTC has announced that its latest lineup of Android phones can now be unlocked in similar way. The company has released an updated bootloader unlock tool that supports all Android devices released after September 2011. This includes handsets as the HTC EVO Design 4G, Rezound, Rhyme and Vivid etc... However, no updated list of supported devices has been released, but they hope to do it soon. Also, as of today HTC has announced on its HTCDev website that all of its Android products released after September 2011 are now unlockable, but not all devices will show up on HTC's unlock list right away, but the company says that its site will be updated to reflect the changes in the coming weeks. As for pre-September products? They that it's still working on it, but didn't provide any details on when new devices will be added.
Quote from HTC "All HTC Android devices launched after September 2011 are unlockable. The website will be updated accordingly to reflect this in the coming weeks. We continue to work on models launched prior to September 2011, please check back often for the status of older devices."

In brief, with an unlocked bootloader you can easily take the full control of your device, customize it with 3rd party ROMs like Cyanogenmod or MIUI etc... However you do loose your warranty when you unlock it.
