Dopod branding to give way to HTC

by Chris Ziegler posted May 8th 2007 at 1:01PM

So wait, why did Dopod just announce two Dopod-branded devices yesterday? Strange timing indeed, but HTC and Dopod have now let it be known that Dopod's name -- well-known only in Asia -- will be phased out in favor of that of its corporate parent. Ultimately, the move makes a lot of sense, allowing HTC to standardize on device self-branding for the entire world (it already sells devices under its own name in Europe and North America). Was just a matter of time, we reckon.

I really hope they now start opening up HTC stores (like nokia) - get their product out without the carrier's nosey approval :-)
