HTC Loses Title as #1 Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Smartphone Maker, Now #3

DigiTimes, which cites internal Microsoft data, claims that HTC has declined from the previous #1 Windows Mobile non-touchscreen smartphone maker spot with over 50% of the market (from July '06 to June '07) to just under 30% of the market. Stepping up to take over HTC's spot are Motorola and Samsung, whose respective Q and BlackJack models are apparently more popular than previously thought. The same report says that HTC is still #1 in terms of the smartphones with touchscreens, with about a 50% share. Honestly, the touchscreen models are where HTC's focusing most of their efforts anyway, so this isn't that huge of a deal. [Digitimes]

Sharp Mysterious Touch Smartphone Looks Like an iPhone

Steve Ballmer said he wasn't worried about the iPhone and maybe the reason is this mysterious iPhone knockoff Sharp smartphone. It will be released in Japan on Willcom's PHS network, just like the Zero 3, and it will have a fantabulous 3-inch widescreen with a whooping 800 x 480 pixel resolution. Weighing 5.53 ounces, the 0.7-inch thick WM6 phone will run on a 520Mhz CPU but will only have 256MB of flash RAM storage. More »

Hands-On With the HTC Touch: Windows Mobile Innovation at Last

When's the last time you saw anyone make the slightest bit of innovation on the input scheme for Windows Mobile? Never? We thought so. But that's just what HTC's done with their TouchFLO app on the new Touch smartphone.
