There's not exactly a flood of information here, but HTC CEO Peter Chou reportedly let loose a few details about the company's plans during a recent analyst meeting, including the tantalyzing tidbit that it plans to release 2 or 3 Android-based handsets in 2008. While the so-called "Dream" handset (pictured above) would seem to be a sure bet for one of those, Chou apparently didn't drop any hints as to what we might be able to expect from the other handsets. In other HTC news, according to DigiTimes, Chou also said the company plans to release anon-Qualcomm-based 3G handset in the "near future," along with a new user interface that'll be "better than its current TouchFlo technology," with a couple of WiMAX / TD-WCDMA devices thrown in for good measure as well.
one word: cool
Isn't that three words and a punctuation mark?
Wonder if they're going to have one with 3D acceleration. I was originally planning on getting an HTC Mogul with Sprint's SERO unlimited data plan in the spring, but after seeing today's videos I've decided to wait until some Android stuff comes out in the second half of 2008. Now my dream smartphone has keyboard, touchscreen (hopefully better than 320x340, come on there are at least a few VGA WM smartphones. At least 480x320 would be nice), and 3D acceleration. I would really like the keyboard for taking notes, and the ones on the current HTCs (Kaiser, TyTn/Mogul, etc...) seem pretty nice. If they made one with 3D acceleration I'd buy one in a heartbeat.
If you are looking for a SERO account the offer from Sprint expires in December, after that no other SERO accounts will be offered.
