DigiTimes has an article about HTC’s efforts to focus on mid-range smartphones, saying that such devices will account for 50-60% of the company’s total handset shipments in H2 2009.
What they mean by mid-range smartphones are devices that will carry a price tag of around $300. And while that’s (I guess) good news for HTC, there’s one other piece of information we caught from the article. HTC’s CEO Peter Chou said that they’ve reached an important milestone, shipping more than one million HTC Magic units since the device was launched in late April 2009!
Kudos to HTC, we’ve no doubts their future mid-range phones will be just as successful, and in that sense, we’re looking to keep reporting on their products.

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.
