ABI Research Pegs Taiwan as a Major Smartphone and PDA Player by 2008

" meant you were getting a cheap knock-off. But, thanks to Taiwan's rapid economic growth (warning: linked article is written by the Government Information Office of the country), it's even clearer today that this isn't true anymore, especially in the world of Mobile Devices.An obvious example of this is HTC (High Tech Computer Corporation). Ever since the Taiwanese manufacturer became the hardware partner in Microsoft's push to make Windows Mobile dominant, it's presence on the worldwide mobile market is growing. A lot of service operators sell renamed HTC devices.
I think this is great news for Smartphone and PDA users everywhere. As it becomes more apparent that there's money to be made producing gadgets for service operators, cutthroat competition will happen between manufacturers. New players may join the game, and veterans will have to work hard to stay in it. The companies that remain once the dust settles will have survived because they were able to provide better smartphones and PDAs at lower cost, and at the end of the day, it'll be consumers who'll enjoy the spoils of the victors.
