HTC reageert op de claims van Apple, de spanning stijgt….zet Apple door of loopt het met een sisser af?

Apple heeft een aanklacht tegen htc ingediend betreffende het schenden van enkele patenten. En htc heeft nu publiekelijk gereageerd dat ze zich zullen verzetten tegen de aanklachten van Apple en dat ze altijd concurentie en hun patenten gerespecteerd hebben.

Verder gaat de rest van het artikel over alles wat htc zelfstanding bereikt heeft sinds 1997:

1998 – Eerste Windows PDA
2002- O2 XDA, eerste windows phone, ontworpen
2005 – Eerste 3G telefoon
2007 – Eerste vinger vriendelijke telefoon
2008 – Eerste Andoid telefoon
2008 – Eerste 4G telefoon
2009 – HTC Hero wint vele prijzen

Ben heel benieuwd wat er gaat gebeurern. Loopt dit met een sisser af of zullen de twee telecomgiganten in de clinche gaan met elkaar? Economische crisis, de groei van HTC en Android tegenhouden, wat zijn de daadwerkelijke motivaties van Apple want volgens mij is iedereen het wel aardig eens dat de claims niet geheel terecht zijn.

. Voor de geinteresseerden het hele persbericht:

Seattle – March 17, 2010 – HTC Corporation today outlined its disagreement with Apple’s legal actions and reiterated its commitment to creating a portfolio of innovative smartphones that gives consumers a variety of choices. Founded in 1997 with a passion for innovation and a vision for how smartphones would change people’s lives, HTC has continually driven this vision by consistently introducing award-winning smartphones with U.S. mobile operators.

“HTC disagrees with Apple’s actions and will fully defend itself. HTC strongly advocates intellectual property protection and will continue to respect other innovators and their technologies as we have always done, but we will continue to embrace competition through our own innovation as a healthy way for consumers to get the best mobile experience possible,” said Peter Chou, chief executive officer, HTC Corporation. “From day one, HTC has focused on creating cutting-edge innovations that deliver unique value for people looking for a smartphone. In 1999 we started designing the XDA and t-mobile Pocket PC Phone Edition, our first touch-screen smartphones, and they both shipped in 2002 with more than 50 additional HTC smartphone models shipping since then.”

The industry has recognized HTC’s contributions through a variety of awards including Fast Company’s 2010 Top 50 Most Innovative Companies and MIT Technology Review’s 2010 50 Most Innovative Companies. The GSMA also recently awarded the HTC Hero as the “Best Phone of 2009.” Some of HTC’s technology firsts include:

First Windows PDA (1998)

First Windows Phone (June 2002)

First 3G CDMA EVDO smartphone (October 2005)

First gesture-based smartphone (June 2007)

First Google Android smartphone (October 2008)

First 4G WIMAX smartphone (November 2008)

In 2009, HTC launched its branded user experience, HTC Sense. HTC Sense is focused on putting people at the center by making phones work in a more simple and natural way. This experience was fundamentally based on listening and observing how people live and communicate.

“HTC has always taken a partnership-oriented, collaborative approach to business. This has led to long-standing strategic partnerships with the top software, Internet and wireless technology companies in the industry as well as the top U.S., European and Asian mobile operators,” said Jason Mackenzie, vice president of HTC America. “It is through these relationships that we have been able to deliver the world’s most diverse series of smartphones to an even more diverse group of people around the world, recognizing that customers have very different needs.”
