East Asia is the world's electronics factory, yet unless they are Japanese, producers are largely anonymous. Now HTC Corp., a Taiwanese maker of smart phones, is moving out of the shadows and trying to establish its own brand name as it competes with Apple's iPhone.

Microsoft's February announcement that it would exert more control over the phones that use its upcoming mobile software, Windows Phone 7, would seem to be a challenge for HTC. After all, the Taiwan-based smartphone maker has made a name out of layering inventive software on top of other companies' mobile platforms.

Apple's competitors are displeased at having their products singled out by Steve Jobs during Friday's press conference.

The smartphone manufacturer defies market expectations, posting a 40% rise in sales for the first six months of 2010.

Verizon cast doubt on the future of the Droid Incredible late on Sunday with word that it was steering customers away from the phone.

Leaks happen -- especially in the mobile world. There are just too many people involved in the process of creating a mobile device to keep things under wraps.

Forget the Nexus One, Google's failed attempt at marketing its own "iPhone killer" via the web - the next big "Google Phone" is definitely going to be HTC's EVO, the first 4G Android smartphone to hit the U.S.

Arriving June 4th on Sprint, the EVO comes with a loaded spec sheet that includes everything you could possibly want in a smartphone and then some: 4G, a built-in mobile hotspot, dual cameras, HDMI output, FM tuner and more.

HTC, the maker of several phones that run on Google's Android platform, has sued Apple for patent infringement, in response to a suit that the iPhone maker filed against HTC weeks ago.

Google's mobile platform has a ways to go before it can even think of surpassing the smartphone market share of RIM or Apple, but Android's been buoyed by a flurry of good news that points to greener pastures — although a recent hiccup with Google's would-be flagship phone, the Nexus One, should give the big brains in Mountain View a moment of pause.

After months of rumors, Sprint and HTC's Android 4G smartphone is finally here. The HTC EVO 4G (originally codenamed "Supersonic") sports a 4.3-inch capacitive touchscreen with multitouch and runs HTC's updated Sense user interface over Android 2.1 mobile OS.
