HTC to launch Qualcomm Snapdragon-based mobile devices in 2Q09

High Tech Computer (HTC) is expected to launch Qualcomm Snapdragon-based mobile devices in the second quarter of 2009, according to market sources in Taiwan.

HTC's Snapdragon device will hit the market one quarter later than Toshiba's early-February unveiling of its TG01 smartphone, which also runs on the Snapdragon platform.

HTC and Toshiba are among more than a dozen device makers that have signed up with Qualcomm to develop mobile computing devices using Snapdragon solutions. Those device makers also include Samsung Electronics, LG Electronics, Acer, Asustek Computer, Quanta Computer, Compal Electronics, Wistron, Inventec and Foxconn International Holdings (FIH).

Although HTC has also entered design-in process for the development of Intel Atom-based mobile devices, the company's Snapdragon-based products are set to enter the market first, the sources noted.
