HTC’s Peter Chou will be making a major announcement tomorrow morning. While we typically are excited about these sorts of events, we’re a bit more concerned than excited. HTC hold press events on a regular basis which are typically announced a week or two in advanced. This time around, HTC’s PR team sent out details about the announcement a little more than 24 hours before it takes place and rather than it being a press event, HTC’s Peter Chou will make the big announcement via teleconference.
This leads us to believe that HTC will not be unveiling a new product, but may actually be announcing a change within the company, a management shakeup, or even more details about HTC’s and Apple’s patent disputes that have been grabbing a lot of attention lately. The HTC Kingdom (HTC Hero 4G), HTC Vigor, and HTC Puccini are the next major products expected to be unveiled by HTC, but we’d expect those product announcements to come from U.S. carriers and not a teleconference from HTC. Peter Chou will be on the phone tomorrow morning at 8:30 a.m. PT. We’ll be listening to hear what the big announcement is all about and we’ll be sure to keep you updated.
