Twinkle — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 10:58:47 +0000

Now, according to the latest news bits, there are chances that it might try it hands in the (over-saturated) netbook market.According to HTC CEO Peter Chou, they are very much interested in this category and they are looking forward to enter the netbook market.I am pretty sure that we will see something very unique and exiting, if, in case, HTC does enter the netbook market. We have seen some really great MID-like smartphones from them. To name a few, HTC TOUCH PRO 2 and the latest one featuring a capacitive display like iPhone, the HTC TOUCH HD 2Note that HTC did enter the UMPC market and they were not able to sell a lot of these UMPCs.
