HTC President Speaks on Google Android

Laptop Magazine talked to Peter Chou, CEO of HTC, the makers of almost every Windows Mobile device in the world. HTC has committed to making Google powered devices in the future. Peter is taking a few lessons from the iPhone is his new Google belief: 

What is it about Android that is more consumer friendly?

Google is an Internet company so they are very good at the Internet experience. We have been working with Google for almost three years. Even before Google bought Android, we had conversations with Andy Rubin. We think the mobile Internet experience is horrible now in devices and we can now try innovating in this area. We are excited for the opportunity to work with Google since they have an in-depth knowledge of the Internet.

Do you think you can differentiate your Android-powered devices, like you have with Windows Mobile?

We will do it differently. Our strategy is that we think differentiation is very important. The hardware is one of the icons that people have an affiliation to.So, do you think it will be the industrial design that will help do that?Yes, industrial design and the user experience will be part of that.
