Consumers like their phones mobile, smart Plastics News
MENLO PARK, CALIF. (Jan. 11, 11:25 a.m. ET) -- Technology advances, additional delivery methods and data-service demands bode well for plastics processors working on mobile telecommunications devices — while the market appears to be rebounding from a slow 2009.
Internet search specialist Google Inc. of Menlo Park introduced its next-generation smart phone, the Nexus One, with an Android mobile operating system. HTC Corp. of Taoyuan, Taiwan, manufactures a previous Google smart phone that was based on Microsoft Corp. software and is expected to produce the new Google device, which debuted Jan. 5.
HTC develops and contracts to make phones using the Android mobile-device platform for marketing mostly under the private labels of handset manufacturers and mobile network operators. The Android system is gaining strength in the mobile communications market and competes with iPhone products from Apple Inc. of Cupertino, Calif., and BlackBerry devices from Research In Motion Ltd. of Waterloo, Ontario.
