HTC - High Tech Computer

Came across a product introduction in Straits Times about a HTC phone called TyTN II (errr...pronounced as Titan??) launching in Singapore soon.

With a retail price of about SGD$1300, I'm not sure if it's steep but it does has usable features such as Blackberry functions and Windows.


And you must be wondering, what is this company - HTC ? The name sounds so un-classy, IMO. Why name a product after your company name ? High Tech Computer needs to work harder on their product branding or naming to entice more consumers. If not, they need to be have a super great product to impress.

Just imagine you are holding onto a Apple MP3 player and not an iPOD. Ok, I know Palm names its PDA after its company name too but then, Palm is such a better name and you can really associate it with being mobile - a PDA on your palm, or Palm PDA. Palm has reason to.

Hmmm...but HTC? Frankly, when my hoobie told me he is wishing to get a HTC, I did not even know what he was talking about then !
