HTC has great plans, and based on their performance these plans are not unfounded. The company's CEO, Peter Chou, has announced that his goal is to lead HTC to become one of the five most important cell phone manufacturers in the world. This takes some time as the current fifth, Sony Ericsson, ships about 90-100 million handsets this year and HTC is planning to ship 15 million.
The CEO
But we shouldn't forget that HTC has grown from a completely uknown, noname manufacturer to a large company in the last couple of years, we must keep the success of the Touch series in mind, so I wouldn't be that much surprised if the other manufacturers would take the CEO's announcement seriously. HTC has been launching Windows-based devices until now, but it's a known fact that they want to gain a profit from the trends surrounding Google's operating system, Android.
