Attention! We have also the same article in English, please, follow this link: Rumors: HTC Communicators 2007 (part2) In the second part, we have decided to present four previously unknown device, and two smart phone, rumors of which extend for some time. Anticipating the introduction, we recall that at this time HTC releases two line of mobile devices - under the symbol "P" (PDA Phone) and "S" (Smartphone), but first things first.
P-Files - HTC Kaiser, HTC Elf
In addition to the devices, which we have already mentioned in the first part, in the first half will be released yet, at least four new communicator. Known about them quite a bit, but just enough to make a rough idea. Thus, the most curious instance of code-named Omni. Most likely, this device will become a long-awaited sequel to the legendary HTC Universal, the first communicator with VGA-screen, as done in the same form factor (with swivel screen and QWERTY-keyboard) and supports the most 640x480 pixels at a diagonal 3.6 ". It seems , the novelty will be smaller than the glorious predecessor and inherits almost all its hardware features (support networks of 3G, a full wireless kit and a powerful processor) with certain modifications, that is, will claim the title of top model. More than anything about her is unknown. Another keyboard model in the line of communicators, which will be released in the spring, will be implemented already in the slider form factor, familiar to us by such devices as the HTC TyTN and HTC P4350 (Herald). The platform will be called Kaiser. Actually, it will be several modified and improved TyTN, with the same QVGA-screen, which in addition to the powerful wireless part (support 3G, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi) and CPU at 400 MHz will receive an integrated GPS-receiver. particularly acute shortage of such a device in the line of HTC felt Now, amid rival E-Ten, which sells and announced a model with similar characteristics. It is, of course, the Glofiish X500 and M700. At the moment there is nothing to oppose these devices except the HTC P3300, has a weak processor at 200 MHz.

Two other device that will come out about the HTC brand in 2007, can be attributed to niche mobile devices aimed at corporate customers, that is characterized by an optimal combination of price and capabilities. " The first, codenamed "Panda will be interesting, above all, a large QVGA-screen with a diagonal at the CCP (3.5" -3.7 ") for medium by today's standards characteristics (all wireless interfaces, excluding support for 3G +400 MHz processor). The second device, which appears under the name of Elf, and at all can be classified as low, as in the ordinary for today's devices screen diagonal of 2.8 "it has only a basic set of characteristics (200 MHz CPU + mandatory part of the wireless-enabled Bluetooth, but without Wi-Fi) . This unit - outstanding representative of an emerging class of devices, among clever inexpensive fashion solutions that will win no user advanced features and unique design, ultra-slim size (slim!) And, as in this case, the original concept of management. Familiar hardware buttons in Elf will be replaced with the touchpad, so that in most cases you can operate this machine with your finger, without taking the stylus out of its socket. Elf and Panda will be on sale until next spring.

S-Files - HTC Wings, HTC S710 (Vox)
In addition to the aforementioned Smartphone HTC S650 (Cavalier), line of the company next year will grow by two more models - the flagship of the QWERTY-keyboard called Wings and image clamshell with advanced features (name still unknown). On one and other as yet little can be said. First, is likely to be a logical development of ideas HTC Vox, then there will also be equipped with two keyboards - digital and slide out the side of the literal. But the hardware is strengthened by a more powerful processor, an advanced telephone module with support for 3G and features GPS. Thus, in the face of this model would actually be overcome by the hardware gap between smartphones and communicators, through which these devices are almost as large as possible. The only major difference will continue to be an ordinary (non-touch screen), which are equipped with all the devices on plaftorme Windows Mobile for Smartphone.

Second smartphone - a thin clamshell image, made in the best traditions of its predecessor - Qtek 8500. True, in this case it is not only beautiful, but also comprehensive solution with the hardware, not inferior to the first smartphone (full wireless kit + GPS) and two screens - external and internal. That's all that was known to us at the moment of Fresh updates.

In addition to these devices in the near future will come, and another interesting smartphone - HTC S710 (Vox), already described in our news. This - the first of its kind dvuhklaviaturny apparatus with digital and sliding side QWERTY-keyboard. Slightly higher than we are told about the analog (Smartphone Wings), which will be released after it, but in the meantime Meet Vox, its own persona. We present for illustration of its properties.

Conclusions
The following year, HTC is attacking the market by an army of clones. Virtually every new product as described, except for HTC Omni and Athena, an easy tuning of existing models in the line of "P", and in the line of "S". Prudent company left a big gap for "growth" of hardware capabilities. If in 2006 in the course were mostly 200 MHz processor + standard wireless package (GSM / GPRS / EDGE and Wi-fi with Bluetooth), then in the future we will face as plain-old 200 MHz and 400 MHz machines with support for networks of the third generation and function of GPS. Good or bad, is difficult to say. But the diversity of product range, albeit with minor differences, clearly demonstrates the benefit of the general growth of the industry and, hence, competition.
