HTC loves both Android and Windows Mobile, will focus on both

As you may already know, HTC announced three new Android phones this year: HTC Dream (the non-T-Mobile version of G1), HTC Magic and HTC Hero.

The Taiwanese company has also introduced three Windows Mobile phones: HTC Touch Diamond2, HTC Touch Pro2 and HTC Snap.

Now, judging by the way Android was received around the world, one may think that HTC will soon concentrate more on Google’s open source OS than on Microsoft’s WM.

But this will not happen – at least not in the near future.

According to Mobile News CWP, Jon French, country manager at HTC UK and Ireland, said that the company will equally focus on both platforms, as they are targeted at different types of consumers.

“We’ll be releasing more devices across both platforms until the end of the year. We’ll certainly move forward on the Android side but we’d be fools to just through away our heritage in being a leader of Windows Mobile devices,” said Mr. French.

Well, now all we can do is to wait and see how many Android and how many Windows Mobile devices will HTC release by the year’s end.
