Peter Chou, the HTC CEO seems optimistic about Windows Mobile and speculates not to have any hands on HD2-Android mix. Have a look at what he said in an interview given to Forbes: About the HD2 HTC's solution is the HD2, a wafer-thin handset that combines a 4.3-inch touchscreen with a high-end processor for snappy downloads and fast Web browsing. The phone, which was unveiled earlier this month, runs the latest version of Windows Mobile (6.5) as well as some flashy HTC software. "We're working hard on these kinds of products to get excitement about Windows Mobile back," says Chou. Gadget fans have been clamoring for an Android version of the HD2, but Chou hints that the handset will stay as is. "Technically, we could make the HD2 an Android phone, but I have to take care of Windows Mobile," says Chou.

About the YOU campaign In the cutthroat smart phone market, even winning favored status with operators can't guarantee strong sales. That's one reason why Chou recently approved HTC's first global advertising campaign. The ads, which play on the word "you" as a sign of the company's commitment to its customers, will roll out across 20 countries in coming weeks.

Though other handset makers such as Motorola have dropped Microsoft's Windows Mobile operating system in favor of Android, Chou says HTC has no plans to follow. That doesn't mean he's not frustrated with the software. "Windows Mobile innovation has been a little slow and interest in Windows Mobile phones has been declining," he admits.

The fresh builds- build 23060 and 23420 are out and seem quite attractive ones. Redmondpie responds with the following succinct:

  • Email folder in Microsoft Office Outlook Mobile gets new colored icons.
  • Improved browsing experience on Internet Explorer Mobile.
  • Definitely more faster and responsive than the last leaked Build 23053.
  • Faster boot time.
  • Build 23420 has the new contacts app.
  • Build 23060 has the menu eye candy but not the new contacts app.
  • Incorporates the updated GUI from the later COM3 builds into COM4.
  • Better memory management.
