MOBILE PHONE MAKER High Tech Computer (HTC) is developing a handset which will run Android software developed by Google and a consortium of other tech companies.

Yahoo News reports that sources close to the company let slip that the device will be called Dream, have a large touchscreen and a full QWERTY keypad. HTC rep Maggie Cheng pretty much confirmed the phone's existence by saying, "We cannot comment on this product."

Android is the "first truly open and comprehensive platform for mobile devices". Google T-Mobile, HTC, Qualcomm, Motorola and others have collaborated on the development of the OS through the Open Handset Alliance, a multinational group of technology and mobile industry leaders.

It could represent the first real challenge to Windoze Mobile. µ

Matchstick does rather have a point

I agree, Windows mobile is pretty irrelevant in the market. The bigger threat is to Symbian which has been crap for long enough.

First real challend to Windows Mobile

So does Symbian having 65% of the smartphone market not count as being a challenge to Windows mobile (on 12%) ?

INQ Poll

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
