Android platform integrated in HTC phone

November 8th, 2007

HTC, one of the big phone producers said to bring a Android phone on the market next year. The alliance of phone producing companies and Google has begun an Open handset alliance to bring an open software mobile platform in the smartphone market to bring a cheap and free way to develop platform for mobile phones. Its called Android, the goal is to make it an open source platform which will enable a lot of enthusiast to program and develop for the smartphone.

HTC enrolled on the project to make sure there is a market for the software and in the hope that more people start to buy smartphones, did I forgot to mention HTC is one of the bigger smartphone producers in the western world?

HTC expects that Android will have a big impact on the smartphone market en will change the landscape hugely.

Details of the phone itself stay a secret and will probably be published in the coming year. This change in operating platform will not mean that HTC is leaving the windows mobile market for what it is. In the contrary it will stay the biggest niche where HTC is focussing, but the hope is that Android will find a place next to it.

somewhere mid 2008 the phone will be released, we’ll be watching!
