HTC, the world's leading provider of Windows Mobile devices, today launched the world's first tri-band 3G Windows Mobile Pocket PC called TyTN and 3G smartphone called MTeoR under the new HTC brand identity (both formerly known as the HTC Hermes and HTC Breeze respectively). HTC will continue to support its operator-branded products and OEM partners as a key priority. At the same time, HTC will provide its new branded products to its existing Qtek channels, distributors, enterprise and operators, who do not carry operator-branded products. Migrating the Qtek brand to the new HTC brand identity will enable HTC to provide better direct support to those customers. The first devices to be offered with HTC brand are the HTC TyTN and the HTC MTeoR. These will be available from late July.
