HTC’s riding a tsunami-like wave of new Windows Mobile-based smartphones all the way to the bank. With more smartphones on market than we can keep Palm Treo Pro made by HTCtrack of (well, almost), HTC has risen to the top of their game in recent months. HTC is the powerhouse behind the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1, they’ve got their own HTC Touch Diamond and HTC Touch Pro to boast of, and they’re even on board as the premier Android-handset manufacturer with the HTC Dream G1. Now, we’re hearing that HTC has their hands all up in Palm’s business (not like that, come on now).

HTC is rumored to be the manufacturer of choice for the Palm Treo Pro, taking out its competition, Inventec, in the process. DigiTimes is reporting that Inventec is still Palm’s go-to ODM, but with HTC’s recent success in the WinMo market, it makes sense that Palm gives them a chance.

Now, we have to wonder if HTC’s own-branded devices will take a sales-hit from the competition that they essentially produced. Competition is one thing, but competing with yourself just shouts confidence.

HTC, confident? You don’t say.
