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! –>

As you can see in the table the TyTN 2 is one of fastest PDA’s at the moment, defeating a lot of PDA that arn’t capable of calling at all!

One of the main programs coming with a GPS is TOM TOM of course, since its not preinstalled it comes with a CD taster edition that is the same as the retail. As long as you know that you’re going to pay for the maps don’t hesitate to give it a try.

don’t want to carry two phones, one for private use and the other for your work? Not counting the extra PDA….
there is a new solution on the market, a dual sim phone. More and more company’s are producing phones that can combine office and private calls on two simcards in one dual sim phone.

The big company’s aren’t interested as yet because of the deals with the providers. But the smaller producers from for example China are producing dual sim phones that are capable enough to compete with the western main products.
Except for some connection capabilities like blue tooth the dual sim phone is quite capable of synchronizing with your PC.
Maybe in the future the dual sim phone is even integrated in the smart phone niche of the market and you can have your dual sim smart phone/PDA in one, the size will not matter since every year the gadgets get smaller, faster and more compatible with everything you need on your businesses, road trips, holiday’s and whatever.

For the moment i’d check the Asian market and by doing so force the main company’s to get a look in this undiscovered market of the dual sim phones in western society.
