HTC Asia Adds New Service to Smart Phones

HTC Corp, the world’s leading provider of Microsoft® Windows Mobile smart devices has made it possible for its phone models to access the Internet using Yahoo! Go.

To bring its users a more convenient and varied mobile internet experience, HTC and Yahoo also have plans to launch consumer activities to promote this platform to a wider range of existing HTC phone users.

Yahoo! Go provides many Internet services including web browsing, email, various entertainment, sports and business news feeds, as well as a quick launcher to access Flickr™, an online photo sharing site. Yahoo oneSearch redefines web searching on a phone, giving you instant answers – exactly what you need, when you are on the go.

HTC users can go to HTC eClub to download the “Yahoo! Go” application thereby replicating the Yahoo Internet experience onto your HTC phones. In addition, users can synchronize thier Yahoo personal settings onto the phone, meaning all Yahoo settings will automatically be synchronized to your HTC phone.

“HTC has always placed consumers’ needs as our first consideration. Besides continuous development by the HTC team, we also actively seek third party phone platform services to integrate with our phones. This collaboration between HTC Asia and Yahoo is a great experience. In future, HTC will continue to observe consumers’ needs to plan our development directions, so as to provide our customers with a more convenient and mobile lifestyle,” said Jack Tong, VP of HTC Asia.
