The large Taiwanese handset manufacturer HTC has finally released its sales report for 2007 and it seems their Apple iPhone rival, the HTC Touch, is selling pretty well.
The Touch and Touch Dual run on Windows Mobile 6 and use the same touch interface as Apple's iPhone. Because of its use of WM6, the Touch has been better suited for corporate and business accounts and it has showed.
At the Macworld event last week, Steve Jobs noted that his company had sold 4 million iPhones worldwide since its launch. HTC reported that it had sold 2 million Touch phones and in total "the company reported sales of 11.8 million handsets, 12% more than it had sold in 2006, garnering 12% more revenue as a result."
It is good to see strong competition and with the LG Voyager now in retail stores 2008 should be interesting to watch.
