High Tech Computer (HTC), a leading Taiwan-based maker handsets, will offer its first ultra-mobile PC (UMPC), code named Athena, in the first half of 2007 at the soonest, according to industry sources.
HTC has actively stepped into UMPC development and production in light of the market niche between notebook PCs and smartphones, the sources indicated.
Athena will have the following features: a Marvel 624MHz processor; Microsoft Windows Mobile Pocket PC operating system; a 5-inch VGA screen; a separate QWERTY keyboard which can combine with the screen to become a mini notebook PC; a built-in 3-megapixel phone camera with an 8GB hard disk drive; support for Wi-Fi, 3G, HSDPA (high-speed downlink packet access), Bluetooth and GPS (global positioning system), the sources pointed out. As Windows XP Tablet PC Edition and 7-inch screens are mainstream specifications for UMPC models, Athena is different in these two respects, the sources noted.
HTC will offer two editions of Athena, one for North America and the other for the European market, the sources noted. For the Asian market, HTC will sell Athena under the Dopod brand through retail channels of handsets and portable telecommunication devices, the sources added.
