Peter Chou says HTC is not interested in having its own OS, will stick with Android
The last few weeks have seen a change in the smartphone landscape, thanks to Google's acquisition of Motorola and HP's decision to stop producing any more webOS flavored hardware. Is there an opportunity somewhere for HTC to get involved and perhaps acquire webOS or another OS to call its own? The quick and simple answer is a resounding "No", according to the CEO of the Taiwan based firm, Peter Chou.
In an interview published in the Wall Street Journal, Chou says that HTC's goal is to take advantage of his company's partnerships with Google and Microsoft, and build hardware that differentiates itself from the competition. Chou told the Journal that, "It's not the operating system, it's the ecosystem, We think we can find a way to differentiate to add value, but at the same time leverage our partners, Google and Microsoft, since we have such a great relationship with them."
