HTC’s attempt to take on GoPro with a, err, plastic periscopewasn’t its finest hour. But now, according to its North Asia president Jack Tong, it plans to give it a second try.
Speaking to Focus Taiwan, Tong said that HTC will launch a new standalone camera next year. An attempt to grow its product range in the face of dwindling smartphone sales, there are no further details avaialble about what to expect in the second iteration just yet. We should, though, expect a wait: the original $200 camera only went on sale last month in the U.S., and goes on sale tomorrow in Taiwan. Talk about getting ahead of yourself, Jack.
