HTC Diamond Touch is a great device and we’re everything but surprised to see HTC saying the sales projections are on track. As a matter of fact, according to the Taiwanese handset maker’s CEO Peter Chou, the company will reach the one-million mark by mid-August.
In a further statement, Chou confirmed HTC’s plans to ship 2 million units this year. However, sources at the Taiwan handset industry speculated that HTC will eventually revise its projections to ship between 2.5 and 3 million Touch Diamond smartphones by the end of 2008.
As a sidenote, it took HTC about five months to ship one million HTC Touch devices. It’s still not Apple, which sold 1 million iPhones 3G for a weekend, but they’re working on it. Keep up the pace folks, you’re onto something!

The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
