Thanks to another update on HTC's Facebook page we can get a clearer picture of what's happening on the Ice Cream Sandwich front with regards to which models will get the update and (a very rough estimate of) when.
Camera company Eastman Kodak has sued Apple and HTC over the alleged infringement of a number of patents relating to digital camera images, a move that could rescue the firm from impending bankruptcy.
Apple has won a legal battle against HTC over the infringement of a mobile phone patent, which will result in a sales ban of a number of HTC devices in the United States of America.
The mobile phone has evolved from being a device to make and receive calls, as well as send SMS (short message service), to one packed with a wide range of features - built-in camera for capturing videos and pictures, gaming, accessing the Internet and email etc. On top of that, the phone manufacturers are also competing in making their devices slimmer, lighter and with a decently huge display. Well, if you are looking to upgrade your phone or planning to get your loved ones a new phone this Christmas, read on.
HTC smartphones may soon be barred from being imported into the US due to a patent infringement dispute with Apple. This is a big problem for the Taiwanese based handset maker and will send shockwaves throughout the entire Android ecosystem.
In the dispute between HTC Corporation and Apple Inc., the US International Trade Commission (US ITC) ruled in the favor of Apple, which is a reversal of the original decision. It turns out that Apple received a secret helper in the form of Advanced Micro Devices.
By now it's pretty obvious that 2012 will be the year of the quad core mobile devices, be it smartphones or tablets, although most appear to be running Android so far, but we'd expect a fair few tablets to be part of the Windows 8 crowd later next year. Rumours are now suggesting that HTC is going to stick quad core chips in all of its high-end devices with one of the first being its rumoured Quattro tablet.
It seems that HTC has ironed out their position with Andriod's new Ice Cream Sandwich mobile platform with this recent leak of a new phone they are working on, codenamed "Ville". This new addition to the HTC family gives a double dose of goodness by including the HTC Sense UI 4.0 as well, an update to the well received OS skin.

HTC will be releasing a Chinese version of their Explorer budget phone in China, under the label HTC Daren. The new dedicated phone is geared towards feature integration with Renren.com's social network service, but will the new phone be able to attract China's increasingly social saavy population?
HTC had a regional event this afternoon to launch their HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio, HTC Rhyme and HTC Radar, which was showcased at last week's Windows Phone 7.5 (Mango) event. On top of that, the company also showcased the HTC Explorer, though the phone would only be available in selected countries in Asia.
Good news to users who are using Windows Phone 7. This morning, Microsoft Singapore has officially announced the launch of their long-awaited Windows Phone 7.5 (formerly codenamed "Mango"). The update for existing Windows Phone 7 will begin today and available to most customers by end of October. HTC and Samsung were also at the event to unveil their new phones based on Windows Phone 7.5 - HTC Radar and Samsung Omnia W.
It was just last week that Samsung mentioned that it would open-source its Bada platform for other manufacturers and developers. And it seems like Taiwanese manufacturer HTC is planning to develop a mobile operating system of their own too.
The HTC Rhyme is something of a delicate matter, as it's HTCs first phone that is said to have been designed with a female audience in mind, yet it comes in dull colours and look quite a lot like every other HTC handset we've seen so far. Sure, it's not black, but it's unlikely to set anyone's world on fire in terms of look and feel. So what makes this handset so special then? Well, we're not quite sure to be honest, but click on through for our first impression of HTC's latest handset.
Taiwanese phone and tablet manufacturer HTC has sent out media invite for an event that will take place in New York, USA, on 20 September. Only the tagline "Come celebrate in style with HTC" is stated, so it is everyone's guess on what the company could be announcing.
Even though Nokia has said that their Windows Phone 7 would be out in Q4 this year, it looks like some phone makers may have theirs out earlier than the Finnish company. Today, HTC has announced their first Windows Phone 7 with the highly-anticipated Mango update, which comes in the form of HTC Radar. The HTC Radar is scheduled to go on retail in Singapore in October.
