High Tech Computer (HTC) saw its revenues grow 22.4% on year to hit a record high of NT$16.04 billion (US$489 million) in October buoyed by the launch of new models, including T-Mobile G1 phones, according to company data. For the 10 months of this year, revenues reached NT$121.22 billion, up 30.8% from a year earlier period.

Finally, the phone that time forgot gets its updated operating system. And along with the usual 6.1 goodness, HTC also is throwing in fixes for: Bluetooth Headset: It may happen that you cannot hear anything when using Bluetooth headsets (Jabra JX10, Jabra BT500 or Samsung WEP 150) even when it has already successfully reconnected with the Touch Cruise. Default Onscreen Keyboard: It may happen that the device will not remember the last onscreen keyboard used. Before, the onscreen keyboard always defaults to the Touch Keyboard. Title Bar: It may happen that the Title Bar disappears when you ...

Market research group Strategy Analytics are estimating that Google, together with T-Mobile will be able to sell around 400,000 units before the end of the quarter. This would account for around 4% of all smartphones sold during that period. That’s kind of huge for a first quarter in the market. Executive Director Chris Ambrosio, of Strategy Analytics said: “Google has the brand power in the USA to make a big impact at launch. The main issue will be operator subsidies. As seen with the iPhone and smart devices in general, retail prices need to be well below $200 to be competitive. Longe...

Google’s Developer Day in London was home to the latest demonstration of the search giant’s Android mobile OS. Just as we saw with previous Android demonstrations , Google showed off their mobile platform on what looks to be an HTC Dream G1 with an ever so lightly disguised mug. A few bits of tape on the otherwise black handset isn’t exactly a first-class camouflage job, and there’s little doubt that the Android handset on display was indeed an HTC Dream G1. The Android OS that Google showed off in London was decidedly more polished than what we’ve seen in previous demonstration vi...

Popout With the recent leak of the HTC Touch Viva , some people were wondering whether its (rumored) 200 MHz processor would be able to handle HTC’s TouchFLO 3D interface. As the story goes on, it seems that HTC has created a new less processor intensive version called TouchFLO 2D, which features most of the benefits of TouchFLO 3D. If you’re itching to find out what it’s like for your phone, the kind folks over at XDA-Developers have taken it out of the Viva’s ROM and made it available for all HTC phones. Share and Enjoy: ...

A report from UK’s Telegraph tells us that Google will launch its first mobile phone venture well before Christmas, in line with earlier rumors. This, of course, pertains to Google’s release of the highly-awaited Android-powered smartphone, which we’ve all seen and now know to be the Taiwan-manufactured HTC Dream. The HTC Dream could be launched as early as November as an exclusive for T-Mobile UK and will support the fast 3G networks there. It should be interesting considering it will be the very first handset running Google’s open-source Android operating system. At this point, we s...
