Why is the Palm Treo Pro so Sexy? HTC?

I thought the Treo 650, 700w, and 750 were pretty attractive too, but the Treo Pro is just sexy in my opinion. Well, DigiTimes is reporting why. No wonder, the ODM is HTC.

Taiwan-based High Tech Computer (HTC) has been chosen to manufacture Palm’s latest Windows Mobile-based smartphone, the Treo Pro, according to sources at handset vendors.

HTC’s experience manufacturing Windows Mobile-based smartphones is the main reason Palm selected the company to manufacture the smartphone for it, even thought they are competitors in the market. The smartphone is expected to launched in September this year.

With HTC also manufacturing Sony Ericsson’s Microsoft-based X1 smartphone, which will launch in the fourth quarter this year, Palm’s ODM business proportion among HTC’s total handset shipments will rise again. However, HTC has noted that its own-brand business will still be the main focus.

HTC is everywhere. Android, making the Treo Pro, the Xperia X1, and all their own hot devices. I need to see about getting some HTC stock.

      2005 would have been the year to do it. I was thinking it back then when I first learned HTC was behind all these WinMo devices, but couldn’t find an easy way to buy on the Taiwan Stock Exchange. But who knows, maybe they’re primed for even more growth in the near future… HTC is 2498.TW.

      Chris,

      All of the Treo’s have been made by HTC not just the new Treo Pro.
