HTC: Getting a Good Start in 2010
There are many things said about what we should expect to see in 2010, from better innovations in existing smart phone technology to totally new devices that will change the way we live our lives. Taiwanese mobile phone manufacturer HTC has been leading the way with their new line up of smart phones this year and from the looks of it, they will be playing an integral part of how the mobile phone industry will be shaping up.
Considering HTC’s product line alone, it makes sense that they are one of the biggest names in the industry. The involvement that they have with the development of the Google Android operating system has been very significant since the beginnings of the Open Handset Alliance.
HTC was not only among the first members of the group, they were also the very first manufacturer to produce a smart phone that used the new Android mobile platform. The HTC Dream quickly became a favorite device among mobile phone users who saw the great potential in the open source Android OS. This level of involvement with Google continues until today with the January launch of the Google Nexus One smart phone –the very first to carry the Google brand.
Aside from that, HTC’s own previous smart phones such as the HTC Hero and HD2 are also among the most sought after devices. According to reports, HTC’s sales profits from 2009 have reached up to 800 million GBP, far surpassing the company’s own initial estimates. They also earned almost 20 percent more in the first quarter of 2010 as compared to last year. Many expect these figures to rise for the next part of the year as the HTC Desire and Legend will be available on store shelves this April.
