HTC a ‘major player’ for Windows Mobile 7
Have you heard of HTC? God, why do I waste my time … of course you have! They own over 80% of the Smartphone marketshare. Until 2009, HTC produced mobile devices for Microsoft Windows Mobile 6. The mobile phone manufacturer recently “scaled back” their production for Windows Mobile phones and shifted this energy on Android devices.
Don’t freak out. Windows Mobile 7 will still be running on HTC phones. What we are seeing now is a balance of power/marketshare between one of the two largest technological powerhouse corporations in the WORLD: Google and Microsoft.
Since more than 80% of all Smartphone users have an HTC phone, the company decided to disversify by opening their doors to new mobile operating systems and creating devices for Google Android. And because HTC doesn’t know which operating system is more successful, they are going to use both of them.

Microsoft has rebranded Windows Phone 7 Series to simply Windows Phone 7. This hasn’t fully been enforced yet, apparently. Their project website still reads the [...]

Most people have at least heard of Google stepping into the mobile phone market in 2010. Apparently Google and HTC were working closely together in 2009 to create a phone specifically designed for ‘Google Users’ (aka, almost everybody).
