HTC's chief financial officer, Hui-ming Cheng, has confirmed that the
company is on track to launch Android-based handsets before the end of
2008.
Cheng has been quoted as saying the first Android phones from HTC are
due to ship to "ODM" (original design manufacturer) clients in the
fourth quarter of this year.
HTC currently creates own-label branded handsets for T-Mobile - who is
a member of the Open Handset Alliance, with seperate confirmation from
T-Mobile will launch an Android handset by the end of the year
suggesting this is what could launch soon.
It's predicted that HTC will beat other manufacturers to market
with an Android phone, as the company were given a several month
headstart with access to the OS thanks to their role as the
manufacturer of the HTC "Dream" Android prototype.
