HTC, Microsoft, and several other partners announced today the launch of Pl@net, a new mobile service for HTC devices. Pl@net is poised to offer entertainment, shopping, news, and travel information to users with a quick tap on their touch screens. The service will also feature several Taiwan's most prominent Internet shop and exclusive content and concert tickets through Warner Music. HTC's Pl@net service is expected to go live on July 1, but it's not known how many markets the service will cover.
Along with Pl@net, HTC also announced HTC My Connect 2.0. My Connect 2.0 will allow direct software downloads to HTC devices and also gives users the ability to easily share pictures and other media from their devices. A launch date for HTC My Connect 2.0 was not given, but since the Diamond is set for near global release within the next few weeks, HTC My Connect 2.0 should not be too far behind.
