HTC's CEO Peter Chou expects shipments of
the T-Mobile G1 will reach one million by the end of 2008.
HTC also
expects shipments of three million Touch Diamond phones by the end of this year. Both
forecasts are greater than their original projections.
Chou noted there will not be lay-offs of
staff, saying that HTC's business has not been affected by the world economic recession.
Chou suggested that HTC is planning to
acquire a handset design company in the United States but did not give any more
details.
