HTC is expected to launch its first Qualcomm Snapdragon-powered smartphone during the second quarter of this year, according to Taiwanese market sources.
Although they will not be the first handset maker to introduce such a powerful device — we’ve already seen the shiny Toshiba TG01 announced — we’ve no doubts HTC knows what it’s doing. After all, we’re talking about the manufacturer of the first Android-based smartphone, T-Mobile G1 which is also known as the HTC Dream, as well as some other smartphones such as the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1.
Aside from HTC, other companies are set to join the party, too. On the list are Samsung, LG, Acer, Asus, Quanta Computer, Compal, Wistron, Inventec and Foxconn. This should translate into more options for consumers and that’s always a good thing!

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. 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. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
