HTC Catches the Train at Robert Pogson

HTC Catches the Train

Published by Robert Pogson January 24th, 2012 in technology. 3 Comments

HTC and Samsung are huge players in smart thingies. It’s a battle to ship more faster. HTC has hired IBM to its sales team. The idea is that IBM will grease the skids for sliding HTC devices into large businesses who buy stuff by the thousands of units. HTC has shipped nearly 100 million units so far.

HTC is also fighting the battle from one individual to the next by opening the boot-loader to run GNU/Linux or other stuff for geeks.

And they are in the mainstream shipping smart thingies to consumers and ISPs.

2012 will see huge take-up in Android/Linux smart phones and tablets and HTC wants its share and is willing to compete on price/performance. M$ is nowhere to be seen.

Yeah, right. Nowhere to be seen.

From Phenom’s link: “We have since Friday experienced the same demand, as shown by the introduction of the iPhone 4S”.

See “Users’ 8 Biggest Problems With Apple’s iPhone 4S“

Yeah. Those two are quite similar.

Here, one sees iPhone 4S doing well over Christmas and Phoney “7″ at 1.4%… I sense a disconnect between reality and Phenom.

Just quoting a source, Pogs, of how Nokia performs. Yours, however, is before Nokia joined the party.

My Mission

My observations and opinions about IT are based on 40 years of use in science and technology and lately, in education. I like IT that is fast, cost-effective and reliable. I do not care whether my solution is the same as yours. I like to think for myself.

My first use of GNU/Linux in 2001 was so remarkably better than what I had been using, I feel it is important work to share GNU/Linux with the world. I have been blessed by working in schools where students and school systems have benefited by good, modular software easily installed in most systems.

I have shown GNU/Linux to thousands of students and hundreds of teachers over the years and will continue in some way doing that until I die in spite of the opposition.
