HTC Roadmap 2010
Mobile-review have posted ab article discussing HTC's 2010 roadmap. Here is their final impression.
Looking at this roadmap, I can say the following.
First, HTC have continued their efforts to unify their offerings in terms of technical specifications - now they are running with three Qualcomm-branded platforms, two of which are very similar (M7225 and 7227).
Secondly, they are throwing more microUSB sockets into their phones, which is great news.
Thirdly, all devices present in this roadmap come bundled with 3.5 mm audio jacks and FM-radios. So it seems they've decided to do away with the issue of proprietary connectors by going for 3.5 mm + microUSB for their latest-gen devices, which is a smart move on their part.
All in all, there are twice as many Android-based phones in this list, compared to Windows Phones, and this should tell you better than any words where HTC are headed now. Like we already said, in 2010 they'll be building their line-up around Android, while WM will be taking a back seat. Although HTC won't and can't just dump their entire WM division, most of their resources have already been re-allocated to the Android branch. And some of their 2010 offerings definitely have the potential to become milestones in their respective classes on the Android market.
