HTC Says WM Is More Important Than Android

[Shogun]

Even though we have heard it over and over that HTC is one of the front runners to be serving Google when its Android is coming out. HTC just wanted to assure us and (probably) Microsoft that they think Microsoft's Windows Mobile is much more important than the Google Android.

HTC is saying that they want to expand their portfolios. One other thing is that, they want to compete with iPhone, but will not be able to get their paws onto Mac OSX. Now, iPhone is sitting on its new line of iPhones with 3G, HTC is also sitting on the new device as well. The new device will have VGA resolution, very thin and the new generation of HTC TouchFLO extension.

That new device is called Diamond. It'll be running on Windows Mobile 6(.1?) The shipment date is set around May 6, but could be delayed. With this focus, they are hoping that we'll believe that they are more focused on the HTC with Windows Mobile more than the Google Android.

Yay HTC.... ?
