Chairman
LETTER TO HTC
SHAREHOLDERS
Dear shareholders,
It is my great pleasure to witness the sustained growth and
market success of HTC Corporation with each and every one of
our investors.
Sustained expansion in overall business operations and
HTC's brand development crowned a year of exceptional
growth at HTC. We shipped 24.67 million smartphones in
2010 – the first time in our history where shipment broke through
20 million. This more than doubles our 2009 shipment number
and gives HTC a year-on-year growth rate much higher than the
sector average. This stellar performance reflects not only strong
market growth, but also dedication by all HTC employees and
strong recognition from our customers and consumers.
Key Accomplishments
Innovative and agile, HTC continues to pioneer the mobile
experience. 2010 was no exception. This year saw the launch of
many new models destined to become HTC "classics". British
technology magazine T3 named the new HTC
Desire their "Phone of the Year". US-
based technology news website CNET.com
picked the HTC EVO 4G (the world's first
3G/4G Android phone) as its "Best Phone
of CTIA 2010". Our flagship model for 2010,
the HTC Desire HD, went further still, setting
a new benchmark for other smartphones
to follow. Desire HD packs a Qualcomm 1GHz
processor, generous 4.3" LCD screen, Dolby Mobile
and SRS virtual sound in a sleek aluminum unibody -
delivering an exhilarating browsing experience and optimal
enjoyment of outstanding multimedia content. Also in
2010, we welcomed the release of Windows Phone 7
by launching the world's first five Windows Phone 7
