I think that it's highly possible for a competing App market to make a splash but it would have to come pre-installed on the phones. It could be possible though for a company who develops one to pre-install it if they make a deal with HTC for certain models of phones :-)
Perhaps just pick 2 of the latest phones and make a deal with HTC to include it alongside the google one. Or perhaps HTC could cobrand (HTC store run by xyz company). -- "The greatest challenge to any thinker is stating the problem in a way that will allow a solution" - Bertrand Russell Andy Savage Cell Phone: +852 936 34341 Skype ID: andy_savage Linked In: http://www.linkedin.com/in/andysavage On Fri, Jun 11, 2010 at 12:21 PM, gosh <[email protected]> wrote: > HTC don't have the global reach. > Of the Taiwanese companies ACER is probably the most international in > reach and intent - although they are pretty much a Microsoft shop. > They have this annual pattern thats been going for years, where they > demonstrate some prototype typically running some variant of Linux > (including Android) at Computex and the like, while they are > negotiating a better annual deal for Windows XP/and now Windows7 from > Microsoft, as a bargaining chip.
