HTC Primed for Three New Android Phones in 2009

The company that got the ball rolling on Google’s Android platform with the original G1 is saying that it’s not anywhere near done yet. In a Wall Street Journal article published Tuesday, HTC CEO Peter Chou indicated the company would be good for at least three new Android phones this year.

The company already unveiled the HTC Magic in February, which will be its sophomore effort, likely to reach the European market in spring. That means there are two more on the way, some of which Chou indicated may be “second-generation” Android phones. The rest likely lie in HTC’s leaked roadmap of future phones, which includes photos of prototype models.

In total, the Taiwanese corporation will debut ten new models, the rest of which are likely to be Windows Mobile handsets like the already-announced Touch Pro2 and Touch Diamond2.

Many of the new models may be destined for China, where Chou said that HTC will make a major push this year.

Buying phones at an auction is a great way to save some of your hard-earned money — whether you're looking for the best Android phones or a new iPhone. It can be online bidding on platforms like eBay or an in-person affair like a customs office sale. But one place you should never pick up a phone from is a police auction.

The folks at the Department of Computer Science at the University of Maryland purchased 228 phones seized and subsequently auctioned by the police and found that most of them had not been properly wiped. While that may seem harmless, it's a tsunami of risks for an average phone user.

Motorola Moto G Pure (Tracfone) -- $50, was $60

The low price of the Motorola Moto G Pure doesn't mean that it's an unreliable smartphone, as it offers a surprisingly decent 13MP camera for an entry-level model for daytime shots, in addition to a nice water-repellent design. The device is powered by an octa-core processor with HyperEngine, offers storage of 32GB, and comes with Android 11.0 out of the box, but it will only work with a Tracfone prepaid plan.
