Shocker: HTC plans Windows Phone Seven Series device by year's end

In news apt to surprise absolutely no one, HTC CEO Peter Chou told Forbes in the week which his corporate would build a Windows Phone 7 Series handset by the finish of the year. For the sake of argument, we have a tendency to assume readily available have a tendency to be purely a a couple reasons he would not desire to. Traditionally, HTC has got pledged loyalty to Microsoft previous point plus once more, also constructing the premium HD2 a Windows Mobile exclusive, less than conspiracy theorists would possibly counsel Microsoft returned the favor by denying the HD2 entry to Windows Phone 7 Series. Also, HTC has been rocking the bejeezus of the Android though of past due -- the scoop therefore the company's designing a WP7S phone projects alongside HTC's claim that the Nexus One was once successful. Regardless, we never wondered if HTC would build a WP7S handset, only once; there could be no approach they are traveling to let a lucrative new smartphone market get mopped up by the likes of Samsung and LG.
