As if the netbook market wasn't already crowded enough, Taiwan smartphone giant HTC is reportedly considering entry and aims to release a model that "added "unique value" to current netbook offerings." Company CEO Peter Chou himself was quoted as saying that HTC is "carefully looking into that category and how it can be part of that." Well, I don't think anyone would mind that–after all, competition is never a bad thing in this industry.
But a lot of questions can be raised regarding HTC's intention to enter the fast-growing netbook market: what will differentiate their offering from the dozens of other models already available in the market? Will it be bundled with an operator contract? Will it run Windows, Linux, or Android? I guess we'll never know. Not until HTC comes out and speaks about these things officially, of course. And when they are ready, we'll let you know.
