Unseen Android-based HTC better than Palm Pre, mobile exec claims
HTC could soon be about to rain on Palm’s parade if the boasting of an executive from Australian telco Telstra is any indication.
Apparently, the new Android-based handset is “better and more functional” than the touchscreen Palm Pre with Palm Web OS just unveiled at CES.
“Better and more functional” seems to mean a huge display (nothing like specifics, eh?) and an HTC-tweaked version of Android.
How does this executive know that the HTC handset is better? Apparently, a team of executives from Telstra met with Palm at CES and previewed the new Pre.
“We have seen both and we believe that the new HTC phone will be a real competitor to the iPhone and the Pre which at this stage looks nice but is still not delivered to market.”
Oh look, it’s an iPhone killer, too. There’s a surprise.
