HTC is long known as supporter of Windows Mobile, and now Android. Now the Taiwan company is trying to enter new market by offering BREW powered smartphone named HTC Smart. The phone is officially announced during CES 2010. HTC claims it defines new category of smartphones for masses.
Dubbed as phone for masses, most likely it will be offered in cheaper price but with sufficient capability of what usual smartphone can do. If you haven't heard BREW Mobile Platform for a while, it's a platform developed by Qualcomm previously targeting app platform market (like Java).
HTC Smart will not carry 1GHz processor or 512MB RAM, instead it's packed with 300MHz processor, 255 MB of RAM, 2.8-inch TFT-LCD touch-sensitive screen with QVGA resolution, 3G HSPA 2100 MHz, Quad-Band GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz, Bluetooth 2.0, 3.5 mm stereo audio jack, and a microSD 2.0 compatible card slot. There's also HTC-style Sense UI on it. The phone will come this spring to European and Asian market.
