One of the premier mobile and smart phone manufactures. HTC or High Computer Tech has announced that it will be introducing a new series of state of the art 3G smart phone, that would feature Qualcomm’s Brew Mobile Platform (BMP) technology. These handsets are expected to hit the commercial markets by September or October this year.

According to inside sources at HTC,

“The BMP-based handset will come with a touchscreen, HTC’s in-house developed Touch Flo 3D technology and HTC Sense interface as found in the HTC touch-enabled smart phone lineup, and yet the device will be available as an entry-level model.”

In addition to the BMP technology, HTC is also planning to slowly phase out its Microsoft Windows Mobile platform and replace it with the much in demand Google Android operating system for mobile devices. As per estimates, HTC will be increasing its smart phone output based on Google Android to upto 50% for the year 2010. This new move of incorporating Google Android and the BMP technology will assist HTC in boosting its sale and provide a tough competition for its rivals.
