This past weekend, HTC was dealt a huge blow, which could impede them from selling the HTC Magic (HTC’s second Android powered phone) and any other handset. A German court just ruled that Qualcomm chipset used by HTC infringed on patents owned IP-com related to 3G radio technologies that allow HTC phones to connect to the internet. HTC is said to be working with Qualcomm to identity an alternative solution. In the mean time, HTC plans to appeal the court ruling which may buy them some time an allow them to launch the HTC Magic in Germany in April.
